Last full day

It’s my last full day in Colorado, so there’s more to explore!

I got to bed late because I was chasing miller moths around the room. Caroline wounded one and killed one, and I finished off the first and killed two more. We decided to fumigate the house with bug spray before we left for the day, in hopes there would be nothing but carcasses when we returned.

After breakfast, we headed out to Eldorado Canyon State Park a short drive from the house. The canyon is impressive, with towering peaks surrounding us and the South Boulder Creek tumbling over the rocks in a hurry to get to the bottom. we walked a cross a footbridge and peeked in a cave, but didn’t go too far since we weren’t in appropriate shoes for the trail. We were able to watch some rock climbers when we walked back over the bridge, just specks at the top of the cliff.

We drove into Boulder for lunch and to wander around town. We found an excellent eatery, Avanti, which was a space filled with different local food vendors. Sort of like a food court, but no chains. The food was superb at Rooted, where we decided to eat. I wish RVA could find a way to do something like that in the West End, to give all those great Downtown and Fan restaurants the ability to open up a place without the exorbitant Short Pump rent!

There was a severe thunderstorm warning, so we headed home, where I could start laundry and get organized for the trip home. Hoping everything fits in the suitcase and that I don’t leave anything behind!
