Still Cellars

Still Cellars is a distillery housed in an off-beat industrial area of Longmont, Colorado. Longmont is not even a very hip place, so when suggested to me by a blog reader(thank you Janel!) I took advantage to setup an evening out at Still Cellars. Considering how much Kerri enjoys her...

Surrounded by birds of prey

On a recent trip back from Lyons, CO where we enjoyed a cool brew at Oscar Blues Brewery, I turned Kerri to a particular road where I saw a nesting pair of Bald Eagles a few years back. As luck would have it, one was there so we pulled out...

Another trip into Rocky Mountain National Park

On Monday, we took the afternoon to tour the East side of the Rocky Mountain National Park. Kerri has never visited the park so it was top priority for a day-off activity. We waited for a weekday to have less of a crowd, but it may have been overkill since...

Golden Gate Canyon State Park

Golden Gate Canyon State Park has been on my todo list for some years now, yet because of it’s proximity it all too often got pushed to the “next week” list, but this weekend I can finally add this notch to my belt. Honestly, for the life of me I...

Manday

It was not a tough choice; sit around all day or get out and do something. Moose agreed that we needed to get out and about so we headed out for a “Man” day. It was a simple plan; drive the van (which has gone long neglected these recent months)...
