Look son! Its Joe Dirt!!

So this wonderful labor day weekend I somehow ended up in DENVER!!! I had 2 other trips planned for the weekend but by friday night they were all no go! & I worked way too hard to get work off to not be going anywhere as well as my dear friend Jessica did!! At approximately 9:30pm Friday night we decide we should go to DENVER, why?? we have no idea? So we booked a hotel, went and hung out with some friends, got up early the next morning & began our adventure to DENVER! Not having any idea what we were going to do when we got there, flying by the seat of our pants I guess you could say! We drove up into Wyoming which has nothing but Little America hotels that serve $.50 ice cream cones....so we stopped! While driving in Wyoming we came across a delightful highway patrol with absolutely no sympathy on us! Nailed us with a $120 speeding ticket and told us we could go to court and fight it! Yes lets just drive to Rawlins again!!! As we continued on our scenic drive of Wyoming sage brush we finally made it to DENVER!!! As Jess checked us in I made sure to grab one of every brochure they had, we went up to our room to plan our weekend! That night we decided to go to the heart of DENVER.....WOW is the only words that explains DOWNTOWN DENVER! There were so so many homeless people, but also many many firefighters!! sexiest men alive!!! They have been doing fill the boot for muscular dystrophy! So we followed down the 16th street mall just to look at them! Then we started getting scared by all the strange strange people we decided to leave! We get back to our car & back it out of the smallest car stall you have ever seen in your life and find a $70 parking ticket!!! Which we will not pay! They gave us the ticket 6 min after we paid for the parking!! Great day ending it with a total of $190 in traffic citations! We are truly outstanding citizens!

Sunday someone was feeling bad for us and we ended up finding $15 tickets to Elitch Gardens aka the old 6 Flags! Steal of a deal! Beautiful day to be in an amusement park with the strange strange people of DENVER!!! Played in the hat store, fought the children for a picture with Bob the Builder, spun in the tea cups, & saw some people rocking bump its!




Monday we woke up at wanted to tour this candy factory but got there a realized they were closed for Labor Day! So we went shopping! I wasn't in the best shopping mood, but it was still very fun! Then we decided to take the scenic route home that my father said would be faster well 10 hours later we pull into Salt Lake City!!! This route was definitely more scenic than Wyoming, however we did make plenty of stops, like in Edwards where we made friends with some more firefighters!! Then in Eagle where we stopped for lunch and received the worst service from our pregnant waitress!! Driving through many many tunnels!! All in all it was a GREAT weekend filled with many adventures!! LOVE IT!!!!

  1. What you really need is your license suspended. Two tickets in like 2 weeks. Seriously, Seriously, Seriously?
