The Bon Jovi

Road trips are always fun. I have to admit that I have not been on as many as I would like, but the ones I have been on were amazing. This one was another amazing trip. Anna and I set off for Denver bright and early (ok, 10:00ish) on Sunday. The drive was long and tiresome - but isn't that what road trips consist of?! The landscape was just "breathtaking" - seriously, it was sage brush for a good chunk.

The hotel was FANTASTIC! Oh my gosh, these beds were perfect, with duvets - seriously, duvets! None of those nasty synthetic bedspreads that should have been burned years and years ago. (This is a hint to all those hotels with nasty bedspreads, we don't want them, burn them all now!) With loads of pillows covering the bed. I'm still drooling over the plushness.... Anna's dad can book me a room anytime he would like.

Denver was cold! Although I enjoy complaining about 'old' St George, I have to admit the weather is great. And I do not like the cold and enjoy whining about it. And we were a tad disappointed by the shopping - not even a good jewelry store to be had. Nice big art museum, wait it's closed on Mondays - what?! I did get a nice picture of the outside art....

Then came THE BON JOVI! Months of waiting had finally paid off. And it was AMAZING. Yes, I will say it again, AMAZING. I do love the Bon Jovi. The seats were higher than we would have preferred, but nobody was behind us, so that gave us the right to stand up and sing, dance, cheer, for as long as we wanted. Drunken moms and gropers, but that just added to the entertainment. And the tall man knowing all the words and singing them as loud as he could.... oh the joy! And damn, isn't he sexy?!

Then we packed up (after spending another night in that fabulous hotel) and made the long trip home. Oh, and Aspen sucked. Seriously, who made those roads and parking lots?! At least the grocery store had a bathroom!
