Trippin': Vail - Closure

The leftover photos that never got posted. It was such a great trip and I'm two hundred and ten percent ready for next year!

The view we had from the back of the house. Just gorgeous! Too bad it was so darn cold or else we would all hang out on the balcony and patio.

Look at how much snow there was!

We would wake up to this almost every morning. Snow covered everything. Big poppa was such an excellent driver. Thanks guy!

Mister snowman barely made it to the end. If you look closely, it's like he has a very serious case of super dry skin. Or snowman eczema.

After the first day of falling all over the slopes and giving our fragile bodies a good beating, this was basically all we wanted and could do. Lay there. It hurt to move period. The hardest things to do from what I remember is taking my shirt off and turning around to wipe my bottom after a good poo.

Cool looking McDonald's with best view evar! It's so funny. McDonald's is almost always the safe haven for some quick brekkie whenever we travel.

Trippin': Denver - Kuulture

1512 Larimer St
Denver, CO 80202

Because of mochi, I'm now addicted to frozen yogurt. Especially from berripop. I thought mochi would have more time in the Denver area so I was like, I need to find a yogurt place in Denver! For the both of us. Hah! So I found one in downtown Denver that wasn't too far from the museum. Unfortunately, mochi left a couple of days earlier than the rest of us. Snowboard and leave! How rude. Haha. Kidding! But I really wanted some as I normally do. I've been known to drive in rush hour traffic just for a bite of berripop's mango flavored frozen yogurt. Yums! It's even my peace offering. Not from me but for me. I have a list of items (all consumables) that big poppa gets for me when he makes me mad. Pina colada from Wetzel Pretzel's, oreo smoothie from Thirsty's, tomato basil soup from Le Peep's or frozen yogurt from Berripop! All girls should have a list for when their own bf's acts or does something jerkish. Cos believe me, that time will come. So Miss Flower Child, big poppa and I made our way to Kuulture for some yogurt. It was so good! Prolly very close and comparable to Berripop. I have yet to try Pinkberry or Red Mango. My cousin who knows the owners of Red Mango told me that Pinkberry actually jacked their idea or something of that sort. Oh the yogurt dramz! Tarty tart tart!

Trippin': Denver - Denver Art Musuem

100 W 14th Avenue Pkwy
Denver, CO 80204

So we didn't really go explore the inside of the Denver Art Museum. We just strolled around the area outside and was very impressed by that alone! There's just never any time for things like that. So much to see and no time to do it all. The actual design of the museum was gorgeous. All metal with sharp points and angles. Super modern and sleek. If you want to know more about what it looks inside, the person to ask would be big poppa. He had to pee really bad so he went inside the DAM to use their lavatory. Miss Flower Child and I stayed outside and enjoyed scenery and larger than life sculptures. There was a HUGE sculpture of a broom and dustpan entitled Big Sweep. The sculptors behind this piece was husband and wife team Coosje van Bruggen and Claes Oldenburg. Their specialty was creating very large replicas of everyday items. I think my new obsession will be visiting all of their work that's located all over the world. Aside from the DAM, we walked towards the library saw a bit of the state capitol building from a distance. The other sculpture of significance was the one by the Denver Public Library of this huge red chair with a calf standing on top of it. It's entitled The Yearling and was created by Donald Lipski.
