This summer I indulged in another extensive vacation from Europe and headed to my beloved home state for two and a half weeks. While the trips home never seem quite long enough, it did give me ample time to hit all of my favorite sites, starting with Rocky Mountain National Park. Here my parents and I are at Bear Lake in July.Once Mike joined me in Colorado, my parents took us to a Rockies game on a gorgeous, sunny afternoon.
While I was home, I also got to do something I'd been promising Mike I'd do for ages: take him to Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, Colorado. There is no doubt that this is the most gorgeous venue in the world, with it's natural stone set up and breathtaking view to the Denver sky line. Throughout high school and college I frequented the venue, and I even poured beers there for a month to make some extra cash one summer. You know it's a magical place if I worked there and still think it's amazing after seeing the behind-the-scenes happenings.
Instead of catching a concert, we attended "Film on the Rocks," which plays cult classic flicks on a giant screen. We were treated to the Beatles movie "Across the Universe," which was part cinema, part sing along. Here is a shot of the screen with Denver's lights ablaze.
