Colorado | Part 2

Unlike my last Colorado post this one does not have a specific location or theme to it. Mostly just my favorite photos from the trip and what we did while we were there.

one | the drive.
Oddly, people have told me that they thought Colorado was like a two hour commute from my home, um... no. We have to go all the way up through Wyoming and then swoop down into Denver.
8 1/2 grueling hours.
I know you must be asking what exciting things there are to see?
Sagebrush.

Oh and windmills.

There is even a tunnel in Wyoming, (my sisters favorite part)

Too bad it only lasts 2 seconds.
anyways. Not exciting. Not recommended.
If you don't have a lot of stuff and you do not wish to have your own car there with you.
I recommend flying, definitely.
two | the birthday.
While we were there I had and celebrated my sixteenth birthday.
And I could not have picked a better way to celebrate it.
We looked at pretty antique shops.

I shopped at the biggest forever 21 I have ever seen.
And had my favorite food, all you can eat king crab legs.

Taken with iphone. Scary eyes, hair, and just to clarify I did NOT eat all of this by myself. This was the work of my family. (:

and got a 55-200 mm lens!
I must admit it was not the 50mm I was hoping for but this one does cost more and it was next on my camera wishlist anyways. I am very excited for high school football to start again so I can actually use it, because right now I have found no uses for it.
Really a great Sweet Sixteen.(:
three | experienced downtown Denver .

{1}-

{2} Riding the train in Denver is one of the scariest things. Very interesting people, to say the least.

{3} I love big cities. love.

{4} I really wish we could have gone inside the train station. It looked so cool and historic. If anything has a rainbow above it, it has to mean something good, right?

{5}-

{6} Colorado has more 7-11 convenient stores than I have seen in my life, this one looked very cool and modern.

{7} Train station at night, with particles all over my lens. Sorry...

four | all good things must come to an end.
As the week came to a close, we were more than ready to be back in Utah in our home.
Looking back I wish I would have taken a lot more pictures. But I have kind of been on a break lately. Blogging break,photography break, schedule break...
I think it kind of has to do with summer, kind of in this mood. Relaxed do nothing, go and do what I want when I want to. And sometimes blogging is not included in that mood.
(Which is also why there was no photo challenge this week, next week ( everyone should enter on allies blog.  The theme is: A photo of something in the distance. The necklace winner will also be announced.)
Sorry getting side tracked anyways, School starts next week which means new goals and new starts.
P.S. 5 100$ gift cards being given away here. I love LL.
