Friday was summer graduation at DU and my friend Heidi graduated with her Master's! In only one year... wow. A group of us went to Buckhorn Exchange, the claimed oldest restaurant in Denver, to have a celebratory lunch. We ate rattlesnake, alligator, and, of course, buffalo. Yum!
I think this place is the older, slightly more established, Uncle of CJ's on the Lake...on crack! SO many animals staring at you as you ate.
Friday evening we got some friends together to go bowling at Golden Bowl - a slightly dodgy bowling alley in Golden, CO. The Chinese restaurant is no longer a part of the attraction, unfortunately. We were really looking forward to bowling and broccoli chicken, but oh well.
Saturday Travis and I decided to spend a lazy day in Denver, being as all our weekends had been pretty busy as of late. After some awesome Mexican food for lunch we decided, hey, it's a pretty nice day for an amusement park! So we headed to Elich Gardens, formerly Six Flags, here in Denver. After paying the hefty entrance fee we decided we would stay and ride every ride twice to get our money's worth. And we would have done it, too! .
Until we got a call from Travis's friend saying, "Hey, I've got two free tickets to Mile High Music Festival tonight - Jack Johnson goes on stage in an hour, want to come?" Ummm, YES! So we rode our last ride and headed out to the festival. We got our tickets as well as, dun dun dunnnn... VIP bracelets! Wow, we weren't expecting that! So we headed to the VIP tent, got a couple of drinks, and then sauntered to the VIP area at the front of the stage. All the while trying to ignore the death-looks from the fans who had been waiting by the stage for hours to get good seats. Awesome concert - we owe them BIG TIME!
