First of all, how did no one correct me on the title of my last post?! I just read that I had typed "it's arrived." Seriously, I need to quit writing posts in the middle of the night...

Anyway, remember when I said we took over 700 pictures on vacation? Well, it was 977 to be exact! Instead of boring you with a million landscape pictures, I'll post just a few of the highlights.

We love, love, loved feeding the giraffes

These guys all had so much personality!

Beautiful roadside stop

 At the summit of Pike's Peak. Isn't it just amazing? They have some serious trust in people, because there was absolutely no barrier and that went straight down.

 It's Big Foot's footprint, ya'll

This guy had no problem coming up to people for food. He almost hopped into our car!

Our favorite part of the trip (and reason for going) was to see Mumford and Sons play at Red Rocks. They wouldn't let us take our dslr into the concert, so I had to make do with my super old point-and-shoot. I'm pretty sure the iPhone has more megapixels than this camera... whatevs.

All three bands came to the stage to sing Joe Cocker's version of "With a Little Help From My Friends" for the finale.

Nathaniel Rateliff was one of the openers and I'm definitely a new fan. This is my favorite so far. It's one of those songs you can listen to when you're really content, or when you need a good cry. Am I the only one the listens to music when I want to cry? Ha.

fun times

Charlie and I will be up to some fun stuff today. I'll post about it later, but here is a hint as to what we'll be doing...

cookies and milk

Charlie has been working crappy hours this week, but today is the worst. He has to go in from 10pm to 2:30pm. That's 16.5 hours without a break in case you didn't want to do the math. I felt really bad for him, so this should be showing up at his office anytime now.

We have a place nearby that delivers warm cookies and brownies to your door. You can also add milk and ice cream if that floats your boat.

Anyway, with his weird schedule I've been pretty bored. He sleeps during the day and he's gone at night, so I feel like we haven't seen each other this entire week. I'm happy it's finally the weekend and I get to have him all to myself!

We were planning to go see the Dirty Projectors tonight at The Kessler, but naturally I waited too long and the tickets were sold out when I tried to buy them yesterday. Boo. Maybe a movie instead? We'll see...
