The Coors ball park in Denver is a great stadium.

Hello all and welcome to yet another exciting weekend out here in Denver. What did we get up to this past 48 hrs in the mountains? Well on Saturday we headed west into the mountains to a place called Dillon. In winter this is a big ski area. The weather was a little overcast but that wont hold Lesleigh and I back from a little adventure. The drive to Dillon is on an interstate I70 and takes about 1 and a half hours out of Denver. When we arrived the town was bustling with people and we were not sure why. Sure enough there was a BBQ festival on the go with rows and rows of food stalls all braaing pork and mielies and drinking beer. Lesleigh and I joined in and sampled the food from several stalls. The BBQ styled meat will never match a real braai, but it is the idea that counts.
We drove on fro Dillon to Breckenridge and then through a small town called Frisco (just like the coffee). At the need of the afternoon we headed back to Denver through a few rain clouds and got home at around nine to watch some of the Olympics.

On Sunday I went to watch a ball game with a friend Japser who works at Coors Brewery. We watched San Diego play against the home Rockies team. It was a great day out and we had a company sponsored luncheon on the deck of a pub across the road from the stadium before entering and watching the game. We got home at about seven and relaxed on the couch watching the Olympics. Another fantastic weekend and confirmation that Denver really is a good spot to call home.
