Denver, CO

Well everyone we have come to the end of our travels!

We are settled in and packed up, spending our last night in Denver, CO

before hitting the road tomorrow morning and heading back home.

Only 2 more states, 15 hours and 1000 miles stand between us and home!

Nebraska, Iowa & I80 East,

here we come.

Our first day in Denver we spent wandering around the area our hotel was closest to, known as Lower Downtown, LoDo as the Denvernites call it.

We took some great pictures, enjoyed the fabulous weather and sampled a few local breweries.

Not to mention harassing the locals with cute puppy dogs we came across on the streets.

Callie almost cried when we came across this cute little Old English Bulldog, 9 weeks old and named Charlie Sheen.

Denver Chophouse
best happy hour in town!

We were lucky enough during our travels to stumble across the Denver Chophouse and make friends with two locals, Matt & Adam.

They were nice enough to take us out, show us a fabulous happy hour 

and hike our exhausted little legs off in the altitude.

 Denver has been a wonderful way to end our road trip.

The weather is beautiful, the locals are friendly and the beer is delicious!

We've come to the conclusion we could not have picked a better way to end our travels.

As perviously mentioned we spent out last day here hiking in Boulder.

It was quite the work out for us Chicagoland girls, 

while the hike was fabulous, the elevation difference became really apparent as we basically ascended rock faces to reach the Royal Arch.

Which, by the way, we were not able to actually achieve due to a closure for wildlife conservation.

We spent a very relaxed, nature loving day in Boulder, thanks to Adam Engle!

After two miles of hiking uphill we were pooped!

Our trip has really been a blessing.
The people we have meet and the time we have spent exploring some of what our country has to offer has been exceptional and a gift we could not have been happier to share.
Traveling truly is the spice of life and something we implore you all to do!
It's not as difficult as many would think
and worth every penny.
After a month on the road, 16 states & 6000 miles in total, we are more than excited to return home.
Much love goes out to you all who followed us on this journey.
We can only hope you have enjoyed following us as much as we have enjoyed documenting it.
Much love and look forward to seeing you all at home!
