This week our date night took place in Denver, Colorado a.k.a. the mile high city. I fell in love with Denver the moment I got off the plane. The mountains in the distance were begging me to hike them. The bicycles and boutiques lining the streets instantly made me picture myself riding my cruiser down the street to a chic city apartment. The endless supply of cowboy hats and boots made me want to stay there forever.
Where I come from, wranglers are acceptable and most people own a good pair of cowboy boots so naturally, I am drawn to them.
I am still upset that I managed to leave without buying a pair.
We walked around Denver, had dinner and drinks at a tapas restaurant, and stopped at the Denver auto show. Osi drooled over the new infiniti M37X and the Audi Q7 while I ran to the 12+ passenger Mercedes Sprinter. Owning a full size van is a dream of mine. I sat behind the wheel of the Sprinter and I could feel the adventure running thru my veins. You may think I am crazy but the time will come when you call me asking if you can borrow the Okonkwo Sprinter!
Osi and I planned on taking a mountain hike the following morning but our beautiful 80 degree weather was followed by a 30 degree snow storm. I am not kidding! Initially, we were not deterred by the precipitation. We figured we are from Indiana (well, at least I am); we can handle snow. 20 minutes into our drive the snow was pelting down on our car and we decided we weren’t prepared to battle a mountain snow storm and risk missing our flight. I was extremely disappointed that we didn’t get to hike. We must go back to the mountains!! However, later we found out that the road we were traveling on had been closed due to the weather conditions so I am certain we made the right decision.
This date was a welcomed break from our regular routine. Wives: note that I believe there’s some kind of husband guide book that explains all trips and/or vacations should be entered into with the spirit of a newlywed - be prepared and pack accordingly. Osi rated this date a 9.
I love your adventurous spirit and must say that part of the excitement of being your friend is that you are instantly drawn to the full size van! Always seeing the potential and fun to be had :)
