Out West

 We traveled to Colorado about a week ago to spend a few days with Travis. Helped him with some projects around his condo, repairing various things and helping him make plans for some enhancements. We also found time to play, including 18 holes of golf at a nine-hole course called Mountain Vista, that has great views of the mountains in the distance. That's the Anheiser-Bush brewing facility across the road in the background. Golf, mountains, and beer!

Temperatures were quite warm while we were there, but the humidity and breeze made being outside really nice. I think we could have easily enjoyed playing 27 holes, if time had permitted.

I'd always wanted to visit the New Belgium Brewery in Fort Collins. Their most famous beer is called Fat Tire, which you may well know, but they have lots of others and some seasonal brews as well. Their tours were all filled up, so we didn't get to do that, but you can sample the products and view lots of their operation through windows into the work areas. We might have acquired a couple of new T-shirts too.

Later, we all used our hotel's swimming pool before dinner. Here is Travis about to cannonball his mom.
