Denver : Day 3

If you missed Day 1 or Day 2 in Denver, you can read them and catch up if you like! You can also just jump right in, as Day 3 was SOMUCHFUNITWASBANANAS.

We woke up after noon--again (hey, what are vacations for?)--and were very hungry. I looked up some places near the Great Divide Brewery we planned to tour and (thought) selected one. We parked near the restaurant and started down the block, only to be stopped in our tracks by a sidewalk sign for Biker Jim's boasting gourmet hotdog combos (Reindeer hotdog???) with fries and a PBR for under $9.

I don't even know why we kept walking after that, but what matters is we turned around and knew we had to have a reindeer-dog.

Denver : Day 2

The Saturday of our trip we woke up ready to explore. I donned a fun outfit and we headed out to Golden, CO.

The Buffalo Rose Saloon

We didn't know much about Golden until we got there but we got our first lesson just by the look of the town; it's the Old West! We walked down the main street and selected the Buffalo Rose restaurant to settle in and eat up before taking down some beer. I got, wait for it, a carnitas Cuban sandwich... YES. Pickles, whole-grain mustard, carnitas, ham, cheese; it was all there and it was SO good. I may even try to replicate it at home.

After our lunch we walked over to 13th and Ford to get in line for the Coor's tour...
