First Train Trip

Hey! i wanted to share with you my last trip that i took out of good ol' salt lake city. i left december 14th and returned on the 16th. it was a blast. it was a 15 hour train ride from slc, utah to denver colorado. i made the trip with my boyfriend jose, and my best friend aubrey and her boyfriend der. ok, so i got a little motion sickness and that wasnt fun, but it was a new experience for me and i would do it again if i could.

This here is a picture of our train on the way to denver. very snowy out there. but it was beautiful, there was a lot of iced over rivers and unique designs made by the snow on the hills and mountains. i am hoping that i can take another train ride during the summer and see all the green that will be out. i love the outdoors!

this is the best picture! it makes me happy :) this is jose and i on the train right before making it into denver. we were tired. but i love taking pictures and so he was nice and let me take all the pictures of us i wanted (isnt he great?) ya, im a little picture crazy, but thats ok! we have fun and thats all that counts right?

And this here is a picture of my bestest friend aubrey and her boo der! they rock. i have the most fun when this group of 4 is together. for valentines day we are all going to go hike angels landing in zion national park and we're gonna have a picnic up there. fun huh?!? i know it will be a lit cold, but we're tough, it'll make for great memories! in this picture we are at the hard rock cafe' in denver eating dinner. it was really cool cause that night there were a ton of local bands playin on stage just below us (we were upstairs next to the overlook).

Here is a picture of the stage. if you look closely you can make out the drummer, guitarist and lead singer (hint: the singer is really fuzzy)

it was cool to listen but it was very very loud and so we had to yell at leach other so we could understand what the other was saying. ya, it was a challenge trying to tell the waitress what we wanted to order! lol!









Hey you knew i had to put another picture of jose and i in right? this is us at hard rock cafe'. man i hate flashes on cameras! they make me look transparent white! aaahhh!!! thats ok, what can ya do right?

this was a good night, it was our last night in denver and boy was it a great meal! jose and i decided to get two mexican dishes and share them. mmmm mmm mmm! i cant wait to go to another HRC and try out some more of their deluctible meals! hey, that'd be a fun goal, to try out as many HRC's in different states as possible. haha, i'll let you know how that goes.


This was a cool picture that we took in the elevator up to our room on the 11th floor! the celing was mirror so we started taking pictures of us, haha, that was fun :)


This next picture here big building is the denver art museum which was just a few blocks down and over from our hotel. it was, well...museumy. lots of cool artifacts and pictures. though i got asked not to take certain pictures a lot. geese, ya im gonna sell copies of what i took pictures of...i mean, come on, my friends were in all of them. oh well, still fun stuff. this picture shows aubrey and der walking towards the entrence of the obscure building ;)







this is all made by sand. cool huh? i thought, wow! i could never make that!




All sand! wow














Our trip wasnt very long, and we kept it simple but we all had a lot of fun.













Ahhh, sleep time. there was a lot of that on the train!
