Mountain Lovin'

The first weekend in April we made a quick decision to take a trip out to Black Hawk,CO for a HPT event. Both Brandon and I always wanted to see Colorado. Being he won some money at the HPT event in Deadwood a month earlier and another kid on the way, we decided this may be our only chance. Black Hawk is about 40 minutes west of Denver in the mountains. It's an old washed up mining town that was revived by a gamblers paradise, CASINO'S! Every building in a mile stretch was a casino! No gift shops or boutiques :( I'm not a gambler so it made for a boring day and a half while Brandon played in a HPT qualifier and making it through to the next day. He got knocked out that next morning. We spent the remaining couple of days doing the sightseeing thing. We toured the Coors Brewery, Lookout Mountain, Buffalo Bill's grave, Bouttier's(sp) Mansion (Colorado's 1st Entrepeneur)and the Denver Zoo. Overall, it was a great time and a very nice break from being mommy! :)
