Gypsy Mom Ready to roll – NOW

Our stay in Denver was a quick overnighter. Brandon got word that he’s needed on location shortly and he has to get to LA for a few production meetings. He’s a cinematographer (which is a fancy way of saying that he’s the one who decides how the movie will look, choosing camera angles, lenses, filters, camera movement and designing the layout of the lights) Its all terribly glamorous, trust me

Here is a link to our Denver Slideshow (or watch it below in most browsers)

The kids enjoyed the stroll through downtown, posing with every statue we came across (of course).  I just love public art and it’s always been something that bothered me about Yakima, that we don’t have a lot of public art. It’s improved a lot since we’ve moved here, but they still have a long way to go. I got annoyed with myself for not climbing on the back of the Pegasus. I kinda just forgot that I wanted to.
On our walk, we stopped into this place called the Lucid Gallery. “Where Art and Music Collide” and discovered the absolute coolest art show. A guy named Tim from PancakesAndBooze.com travels around (Can you tell I’m hooked? I love traveling entrepreneurs- the freedom, the possibilities…) and he connects with local artists in every city and brings them together to display their work in one cool awesome show. Here are a few pictures of what we saw (When we were there, they were just setting up. Artists were carrying their work inside and setting up their displays. He gave us a little sneak preview). Check out the slideshow below and definitely check to see if they’re showing near you. If you’re an Artist, you might want to see about displaying your work. You don’t need several pieces, many of the artists just submitted one or two.

And that was it, actually, we missed so much. We definitely plant to return to the area; leaving hurt. Physically. We hadn’t even gotten started yet. I had lists of places I wanted to go and things I wanted to see. I could have spent WEEKS visiting the area. I had friends I wanted to get together with and I didn’t even get to visit one. So Shannon, Bridget, Sara, Sarah, Sarah, Amy, Lisa, Phil, Heather, Tiffany, Brad & Lucretia and Ingrid and everyone else in Denver, Boulder, Longmont and Colorado Springs (and nearby) … I will see you next time

Glenwood Springs, CO

After Denver, we headed East on interstate 70 and found ourselves in Glenwood Springs. Here’s a small slideshow from our visit (we were only there a few hours but we managed to take a crazy-long-and-hot hike up the side of a hill to an old cemetery where Doc Holliday and Kid Curry are buried)
