New Adventure in Colorado






















So here I am in Winter Park, CO. Dad and I drove out here on Wednesday, leaving Little Rock at 6:45 a.m. and making it to Denver around 10 p.m. later that evening. Initially we had decided to stay the night in Denver but since we made it there at a decent hour we decided to go ahead and drive to Winter Park which was an additional 60 something miles. We stayed at a hotel called Valley Hi motel which wasn't too bad. We woke up in the morning, grabbed some coffee and a breakfast burrito at a local cafe and started to explore the town. (Dad was not a big fan of the burrito but I thought it was delish :)) Anyway, so after driving through the Winter Park village for a while and taking pictures of the snow we decided to head back towards Denver and check out the Downtown area. We walked all around the big sky-scrapers and visited the center for the performing arts which was really cool. Eventually I had to drop Dad off at the airport for his flight back home and then I drove the beautiful Denver Pass all the way back to my new home. I moved in to my new apartment, met my new roommates and started orientation on Friday morning. I'm going to be working at a lift called the Discovery Lift and training begins on Monday. I'm super stoked. Next week I'm going to be looking for a second job and hopefully I'll be able to find one with no problems because unfortunatley the lift salary is not much. (I am accepting donations at this time, by the way :)) I'll update again soon.

Smile, in case someone's watching!
