Today was the going away celebration for my fiance's little brother. Liam is going into the navy and he starts soon, so today he wanted to celebrate.
The day started off with a trip to Cheyenne. I had to register for a CPR course and since it was on the way we stopped by LCCC. After that it was a quick jaunt over to Fort Collins. The first 45 minutes there were spent looking, in vain, for Play it Again Sports. I was hoping to acquire a kettlebell of my own, but google maps gave me bad directions. So I resigned myself to getting it another day. After that we went on over to Seuhiro for some sushi. Holy cow, it was good. I often forget how mediocre the sushi here in Laramie is until I go back and eat in FoCo. Once lunch was over Erin and I drove on down to Denver--Thornton really but who cares. There we went to WaterWorld. WaterWorld didn't start out too well for me. I was a little pissy after not finding the kettlebell, and then Erin wanted to go on a particular ride which had a long line and was high in the air. Long lines and heights are two things which make me less than happy. After getting through that though the rest of the day was a blast. We went on many fun rides like the Journey To the Center of the Earth, the big wave pool, the racing slides and many others. We had met up with Erin's brothers shortly after the first ride and we all had a blast there. After WaterWorld closed, we headed to Casa Bonita for dinner. At first, we were following Erin's brother, who claimed to have a gps thingy on his phone. He got us totally lost and so we all stopped, talked about it, and he decided to try his gps again, while Erin and I went over to the nearest gas station to ask directions. Erin and I arrived a full 20 minutes before they did. At the restaurant we had some so so food, and a blast walking around the place. If none of you have ever been, you should at least try it once, so long as you are not expecting wonderful food. The place took us nearly 2 hours to explore and during that time Erin and I got our picture taken in old west clothes, saw several cliff diving performances, and watched a crazy fellow in a Gorilla suit run around the restaurant. All in all it was pretty darn fun.
After all that, Erin and I went home. We were both pretty exhausted and she conked out right away. I decided to stay up a little while and chill on the interwebs and soon here I will join her in worn out slumber.
