Opening Day Weekend


This weekend Ashleah and I headed north to Denver to catch the Opening Day home game for the Colorado Rockies. We got started a little late so we stopped and stayed with friends in Raton, NM. Saw this sign as we got into Raton. Seriously, is Raton really a destination for springbreakers? Watch out Daytona Beach and Cancun!. Rumor has it that Girls gone Wild will be filming in Raton next year.

Finally made it up to Denver and the sun is shining. Swung by the stadium and picked up the season tickets! Ahh. Nothing like the sweet smell of a full years worth of baseball tickets. Ever seen the movie "Fever Pitch?" I too smelled the stack of tickets!


Time to get into the ballpark, drink a few beers and enjoy the game with friends. Whew! made it inside and to the bleachers with 5 minutes to spare before the first pitch was thrown.




Nothing like a few beers in the sun to get the pipes going for "Take me out to the Ballgame!"



Too bad the Rockies couldn't hit the ball. 2 hits is not going to cut it. They got spanked 7-1.

Rest of the weekend wa spent meeting with caterers, photographers, and cake makers for the wedding. Of course we made some time to pick up a couple of Chipotle Burritos! Damn they are good!




For all those that are intersted in the bike portion of this blog . . . . well I did see a bunch of roadies racing in and around Boulder. Sorry no pics.

Nighty night!
