Tk and I spent a couple of days in Colorado to visit her friends Claudia and Andrew and to check out the area. Boulder is a really beautiful little city, nestled against the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. It has a great downtown area that reminds me quite a bit of Burlington, VT's Church St. It has lots of nice neighborhoods (pretty pricey) and just a few miles out of town are lots of farms and open space. I loved Boulder though the more affordable neighborhoods just outside the city feel a little Pleasantville.
We took a nice walk on the Sanitas trail in northern Boulder, shown in the pics below.
We drove around Denver a bit too and I wasn't all that impressed. We really didn't know where to go so perhaps we missed what we were looking for, but everything seemed dominated by large highways (Littleton even has a fast 2-lane highway running directly through the center of town - not exactly a kid friendly downtown).
Did I mention I loved Boulder?

We look miserable but really were enjoying the hike.
