Day 4 — can’t end Ash’s Colorado journey (and trip back to Jersey) without some high-altitude snow.
Started off the day at my favourite Boulder breakfast spot — Lucille’s. Red beans, rice and beignets (and towering praline waffles if you’re not carb counting). Beignets — yep, gotta 🙂 Or as Ash canted: gotta have some of those ‘man-catching beignets’, remembering a line from Disney’s ‘Princess and the Frog’. LOL>

Ok, now we’re waddling like penguins — time for our Day 4 hike! Repeat hike for Ro & I but only an hour away, guaranteed snow AND an amazing lake view — she’ll come back with that memory! Wearing a souvenir sweatshirt (it’s been a FANTASTIC trip :)), we hiked Brainard Lake — yeah, that’s 10,300 ft UP. ROCKSTAR half day!
Took last vacation pics. Wasn’t super clothes-focused this morning and picked ALL colours on my wheel. Sometimes just gotta laugh (album pic). Made time on e-470 (our pricey ‘expressway’) and grabbed a last bite & brew at Boulder Beer Company (at the airport).
Ho, hmmm; she’s gone. But dang, it was a FUN FULL 4 days! Sand, sun & snow — LOVE LOVE LOVE my Colorado life !
