We're home!

We got back to Philly safe and sound. Unfortunately the woman sitting next to me did not since I smacked he in the face with my backpack...and she already had a broken arm.


Nobody's perfect.

Peace out,

A less ADD post

Thursday: Jordan and I went prairie dog hunting which unfortunately failed miserably. However, we did enjoy some nice pbrs in the park. Later that night we met up with two of ben's friends Kendall and Monique and went to a Mexican restaurant where they had two for one huge margaritas. After margaritas, we went to a country bar where it was ladies night (free cover and free drinks fuck yeah). It was amazing. There was so many cowboy boots and flannels. There was line dancing, which included a creepy old man tryna get down. The drunk dancing people in Denver are the best. A man asked me what my name was and thinking that he had asked me to dance I said "no thanks I'm good". Whoops. Awkward. SNS.

Jordan even sacrificed her number to get them to play wagon wheel. It was tau sig rho heaven.

In addition, Ben got significantly more drunk then the rest of us because he kept stealing our drinks.


Friday:

We went to dinosaur ridge and saw real life dinos that were neither real or lifelike. However, we got to see dino footprints which was amazing. It also turns out that for a while Colorado and a lot of the Midwest were underwater so a lot of the rock looks like a sandy ocean bottom. It's amazing to think that dinosaurs roamed around on the same land as us.

At dinosaur ridge, we discovered a path that led us up to the top of the ridge. The view was phenomenal, by far one of my favorite views of the trip.

Then on our way back to the car, we saw PRAIRIE DOGS. millions of them! I couldn't have been happier. They're the cutest things in the world. I attempted to trap one but I was unfortunately not successful. Eeegads.

That night, we went to go see oz the great and powerful in 3d (for only 10 dollars!!).

Saturday was a huge snow storm but ben's family came and we went out to dinner at bar Louie, which was delish. Ben's family is awesome. His brother came back to ben's with us and got him sufficiently fucked up.

weee

so we're coming to the end of our trip and i realized i haven't posted anything in a while. or well like two days. but whatevz.

yesterday, we went to dinosaur ridge and saw real life dinosaurs. that were not so real or lifelike. it was super confusing at first since they dont have information on where the trail really starts but we figured it out because we are geniuses. we got to see dinosaur foot prints. do you know how amazing that is?

real life dinos walked here. shet.

then we climbed up the side of the ridge where you could see for basically forever. we stayed up there for the majority of the trip. here are some picz that don't do the view any justice.

proof that i am in tau sig. since documenting vacations via selfies is a thing these days.

on our walk back to the parking lot we saw prairie dogs! millions of them. which was awesome and extremely exciting since we did not see any on our prairie dog hunt yesterday (ben's fault). which now reminds me that you did not hear about our thursday. whoops. basically we shotgunned some beers, went prairie dog hunting, that as you know failed, and got drunk. thursday night was pristine. we went to a mexican restaurant and got two for one huge margaritas and then went to a country bar where it was ladiez night (free cover and drinks!) . it was tau sig rho heaven. flannel, cowboy boots, country music, and line dancing. ben got wasted off the free drinks, that sneaky sneaky mom, but then got in trouble for drinking the free drinks. jordan got them to play wagon wheel (after exchanging numbers with the guy hehe true luv is blossoming).

i'll write more later. ben's parents are here. sorry for the ADD post.

Parks and Cheesesteaks and Prairie Dogs...OH MY!

Today we are going to see prairie dogs!! (Cason's dream come true, weird, I know...).  Apparently they're like squirrels here and Ben's friend told us we should drive there and try to run them all over. -__-

Anyway, we've kinda just been bopping around Denver for the last few days. We walked pretty much a half hour in every direction and found something interesting.  There are so many parks here!  The one where we found Narnia had this amazing playground and giant sledding hill that we rolled down (idk if Cason already talked about this but I'm reminiscing sooo... yeah.)  We found one yesterday that looked amazing and had all kind of trails to run around, and these weird cone shaped pod things.  Kind of creepy.

Speaking of that, the architecture here is really unique.  We walked down one street and found this stucco Aztec looking house with an amazing porch and lots of color, next door was a split-level wooden house that was more rustic looking, and next to that a two story contemporary complete with red white and blue shutters. Even the benches are different here with metal designs and stone ottomans.  Anyone could move here and find something they like (and I suggest you all do ;))

Another amazing thing here: the food!  Yesterday, after much deliberation because we are two of the most indecisive people ever, we decided to go to this restaurant down the street called the Berkshire.  We found our later that it's been on the Travel Channel!  Cason got this amazing pulled pork sandwich and I had one of the best cheesesteaks I have ever had (sorry philly).  We also got some local organic chocolate yummm.

And now we're off..........................prairie doggin'

someone help me if cason tries to bring one home as a pet

thrifting, exploring, and nomming..hard

yesterday = complete success. we went to goodwill, where i found this awesome cashmere sweater, a duck doormat for ben, and the same stuffed animals (vegetables?) that marina and abby have.

then we wondered around Stapleton, a development/town outside of denver and found the most amazing playground. literally moving out here so my kids can play at this playground. there was also a hill that once you climbed to the top you could see the entire town. pictures will never do it justice. and like the normal college students that we are, jordan and i rolled down the hill. if you haven't done that recently, then i highly recommend it.

this week is restaurant week in denver, meaning that all the expensive five star restaurants are doing a 5280 deal. where for two people, the meal is 52.80, basically buy one get one free. the food was amazing. we went to fugo de chao, a brazilian steakhouse. they had an amazing salad bar with anything you could imagine.  ANYTHING. 

so what happens at a steakhouse, if you have never been (it was our first time yesterday too!), each person gets a coster that says "yes, please!" or "no, thanks!" (i stole mine..obviously). these waiters come around with legit swords covered in steaks. you say what you want, which is rare obviously. if you like well done steak get out. you take your little tongs and they just slice the meat off the spear and begin nomming. until you realize that you are literally being SWARMED by men with swords full of steak aka paradise is surrounding you and you feel like a god of all steaks.

that is what life should be like everyday.

peace out girl scoutz

gooooooood morning

no, i am not studying abroad. twas a drunken joke. i assumed it'd be obvious that i'd never miss graduation. and i would definitely tell people because well...i can't keep my mouth shut about exciting things.

so i just woke up. jordan is still asleep but i really want to delete my facebook status but i want to show her the comments. i hope i didn't freak anyone out or offend them. but after hearing it's a joke shouldn't you be super excited that i'm not leaving you?

jordan and i found a thrift shop last night so that is where we will be spending our day. and then possibly going to happy hour. and then going to this fancy dinner at this 5 star brazilian steak house which has this 52.80 deal. two people can eat normal meals and the total is only 52.80. HOW CRAZY IS THAT? i'm going to eat my weight in steak.


i'll let ya know how that goes

Dinna

Tonight, Jordan, Ben, and I made dinner. We had amazing salad (hand cut and made by the Ben Mosher), chicken, and guac. It was absolutely amazing.

The best part was that on our adventure Jordan and I discovered all these wines made in Denver, Co (okay..well we didn't find them. the extremely nice man at the liquor store showed us). We bought a Redstone Meadery Honey Wine with Blueberry Puree.

Do you know what Heaven tastes like? Cause we do.

We have also been coming up with BRILLIANT high ideas, weed wedding cakes, weed salsa and chips, weed burritos, weed papers, weed cheese steaks. Weed laced of course.

Jordan has the most amazing idea but since it has not yet been invented i cannot divulge the details.
also, if you do not think these ideas are brilliant, there is something wrong with you.

We're adults today!

The time difference is amazing for us because we wake up at our normal time, around 11, but its actually 9 am and we have SO MUCH TIME FOR ACTIVITIES!!

Today we decided we would be real, functioning human beings. Woo!  So we decided to walk around and explore the neighborhood around Ben's apartment.  Within 5 minutes we found: Einstein bros bagels, a bicycle shop where we can rent bikes, an accupuncturist, a yoga studio, and a CHIPOTLE!  Oh and a liquor store....but we already sniffed that one out yesterday.  I am never leaving!

After breakfast at Einstein's we decided to explore some more and went to the liquor store where we got some local wine for dinner tonight!  We also got some local beer, Denver is the capital of craft beer and so far we've tried Fat tire and Breckenridge Brewery's Vanilla porter.  Both. Amazing.

We also went to the grocery store and got things to make for dinner tonight: surprise Ben!  And then... when we were walking back, you know, very proud of our successful grownup day, we make it back to the apartment.  They key fob didn't work so some random woman and her very loud but adorable Jack Russell, Bob, let us in.  As we trek up to the 3rd floor with our groceries in hand, something seems different but we don't pay attention to it.  Well, we reach the apartment number that Ben lives at and after about 2 minutes of swiping the key fob and scratching our heads... someone who was NOT Ben opens the door and stares at us until we run away laughing.  

Just our luck. As Vicki would say: OOPS!

and now we're doing hw in the library until Ben gets back from work.  #boredhousewifeproblems

stay high frenz,

See it and weep.

DAWGs and DABs

Everyone was wasted last night, not our group that we went out with...well except this one girl. If you are not wasted in Denver, then you are in the process of getting there. Jordan and I saw so many women and men dancing by themselves, crying, or making complete and utter fools of themselves (included is a picture of Jordan and I in front of a man who danced by himself for a good hour, possibly longer and continually got rejected). This leads you to realize that you have definitely been that fool on multiple occasions. But if you still have friends then you're fine. If you don't, get your shit together. This led to the invention of DAWGs.
PABs are pussy ass bitches. And DABs are drunk ass bitches. But what do we call that wasted white girl who thinks she can get down and shake it but really looks like she's having an epileptic seizure to the point where you consider calling 911? She is a DAWG, a drunk ass white girl. I recommended that you stay away from them at all costs. Don't let them bring you down to their level. Save yourself. Save a life, don't ride a DAWG.

Ps. I'm never coming home.

Breakfast of champions

We made it!

Well considering what we got through the airport with we started off rocky but we made it!!

We have been in Denver for an hour and have successfully: smoked a blunt, hit the bong, and cracked open some ice cold nattys.

Headed to the bar meow so there will definitely be a drunk post later. Apparently the mountain air gets you drunk faster; combine that with the antibiotics I'm on and here we goooooo!!

Denver, you win already.

#Aisleseatproblems

Am I allowed to fall asleep? What if the other two guys have to use the bathroom? Why are there not set rules for this?

Also, I do not have a menu. And my new BFF is now sleeping. He must have a menu in his seat pocket. But I can't ask him. How am I supposed to get crunk?

I am too awkward to do things on my own.

The Plane Ride to Heaven

Similar to the stairway to heaven, but much faster and a hell of a lot more comfortable. Jordan and I are unfortunately not sitting next to each other. She is sitting at the window seat (that lucky bitch) next to an older couple. I am stick at aisle sitting next to a sleeping man. We became instant best friends. Our conversations have gone something like this:
Man: "uh...you're sitting on my seatbelt buckle"
Me, after realizing that I was in fact sitting on his seatbelt and that my ass has to have no feeling in it, "oh uh yeah sorry"

I'll keep you posted. I'd take a picture but that's entirely too creepy.

Also, Joe Palladino is on this flight as well. The world is way too small.

I'm going to go sit back and listen to some tunes and read my fucked up books. Peace out Pennsylvania and hellooooooo heaven.

[update: we did not become friends. In fact, both people in my aisle hate flying. ]

Serendipity in phillay

Serendipity. That is what we have ladies and gentlemen.

Here we have our flight: 4 hours and 20 minutes long and our confirmation number for our new blog? What else could it be but 420120.

And we run into a fellow ursinus friend in the airport!!
