21 hours in a car= FUN

Brad is the best! He drove me 20 hours all the way to SLC and Heber City so I could hug this beautiful lady and see her for like... 4 hours. Read Here.

Colorado! Colorado!

I had the opportunity to attend a work conference in Denver the 23rd-25th, so we made it a little Team Barttels vacation! Off to Denver on Sunday- stayed at Brad's friend Eric's house... lots of sightseeing Monday all day, work on Tuesday for Linds & some fun for Brad & then a Rockies game Wednesday! Awesome.

A "Scenic Vista" as Brad would say.

Red Rocks Amphitheater. There was a museum of all the people who played.

I love Sting.Buffalo Bills' Grave and Look Out Mountain.
You can't tell, but it was POURING RAIN. We are dedicated to Buffalo Bills' memory. Ha.
Brad visiting the Coors Brewing Factory with his friend Spencer
(they got soda at the end, don't worry)

COORS FIELD!!!! Hooray! Go Rockies :)
I was amazed at how BEAUTIFUL Denver is! It was our first time there & you can see FOR MILES. Highly recommend. So cool. I was singing songs from this the whole week. Oh Debbie Reynolds... Denver wouldn't have been the same without you :)

AFC Half Marathon- August 15th 2010

Brad ran the America's Finest City Half Marathon in San Diego, CA. I was so proud & happy! He came grimacing across the finish line with a bum cramp.. but HE DID IT! 2 hours & 2 minutes. Not too shabby for a 6 AM run. Congrats Brad!! You did great! Someday we will get to run across the finish line together! :)

fyi

we are in denver for 4 days. i love it already. today we ran through a rain storm to say hello to Buffalo Bill. What a guy. He was cool enough to have a museum all about him set on a BEAUTIFUL mountain. *sigh* love it. :)

see you soon.
