Cheyenne

Cheyenne is a short trip down the road from Denver and I do have family there (lets be honest, where DON'T I have family?) so we wanted to stop there.  

My cousin picked us up to go to “Fridays On The Plaza”.  It's a cool thing where the city brings in various acts every Friday night all summer long.  I was impressed! Of course with our luck, it started pouring rain on our way there.  We tried to wait it out but it kept on coming so we rallied and went to dinner.  After dinner we gave it one more try and went back to the concert area.  We are very glad we did!  We got there in time to see the headliner which was an electronic music act called, "Mystery Skulls".  He was pretty good and we decided to text our daughter (who listens to everything and attends a lot of concerts) to see if she knew who he is.  Turns out not only did she know but she booked him to play at one of the music festivals she is associated with in AZ as well.  She was proud of her parents for branching out.  :D 

The next day was a beautiful day so my cousin took me to the botanical gardens.  Yet again, another surprise.  They have this super cute, children's garden full of interactive activities like sidewalk chalk, puppet shows, etc... They also had a rain forest garden and a desert garden.  I grew up going to Cheyenne every summer and had never been so I felt fortunate to be able to finally see it.  

That night my cousins had us over for dinner.  They recently retired from owning and running a Mexican food restaurant for 25ish years so of course the dinner was super YUMMY.  As a bonus, they showed us how to play Mexican Train.  We now have a fun game to play with friends and family in the future.  Delilah and Steve, thank you for the great weekend!! 

Working our way west!
