Boulder and Beyond

It was nice to linger over coffee, and take in the view on a lazy morning at a beautiful home on the mountains. We packed our bags and said good-bye to Leslie. Leslie bid farewell to the "three Solos" referring to Billy, Jack and Solo as her three mellowest house guests ever. Jeff had left early to play golf. We stopped at Larkburger for lunch on our way out of town. Yum. The drive through Vail Pass and beyond was breathtaking. We stopped in Boulder for a stroll along Pearl, a little shopping at Urban Outfitters, and some entertainment on the river. We also took in the campus. Surprisingly, there were plenty of students milling around. Then it was back on the highway to Cheyenne, WY for dinner. It was not a pleasant experience. Creepy people dining. Eww! We checked out a couple campgrounds in route, but decided to just drive into Nebraska for a few hours and stay at a roadside hotel. We lost another hour by the time we stopped in North Platte, NE at 12:30am (cst). I think we all felt a little blue leaving the beautiful mountains, and officially starting our trek home as we found ourselves on Interstate 80 eastbound:(
