So I moved on Thursday (more on that later). And then that Friday, Levent and I headed out to Colorado to go white water rafting with the MCC IVEP group that I have been working with in the Central States region. (It was great, but unfortunately, I have no pictures).
Since we were in the beautiful state of Colorado, Levent and I also decided to do some exploring on our own, which translated into eating a cool places and going to the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs.

| Burgers from Crave. Oh my word. They were SO good! Also, the truffle fries were the best french fries I have ever had in my entire life. oh man oh man oh man. Oh… and even though I didn't photographic it, we did go to Josh & John's to get ice cream. Let me tell you. That places makes the best ice cream in the world. Go there. Eat it. Then let's talk. |

The only downfall of the trip was that I had a terrible head cold the entire trip. But overall, I am so glad we started off summer in this way. Let me tell you. I was so freaked out to go white water rafting (and maybe rightly so because the river levels were so high that 2 or 3 rated rapids (out of 5) were more like 3 or 4. It was nuts. But I did it! And it was fun! Another fear to check off the list.
Let's always start summer like this… well minus the head cold.
