Last Day in Denver

This is just a quick post cos I'm leaving for my flught back to Hartford in 5 mins!

Yesterday we took Matthew to the airport to catch his flight home. I hated leaving him - he's my little bro! He can't get two planes by himself! I looked into staying here another two weeks and changing my ticket, but I didn't want to let people down and not travel around the East Coast.

Anyway, the rest of the day was spent chilling back at the house - playing Thomas the Tank Engine with Joe and being beaten at air hockey and fuzzball by Mark! Once we'd picked Kathryn and Jenni up from school we had a problem with the car, which meant we all had to pile into the Dodge truck for our evening out in downtown Denver!

We had tea at Hard Rock, then trapsed around trying to find somewhere to get our noses pierced (me and Kat had decided we'd get it done together!). After much 'cafuffle' and playing of the 'la la-la la la laaa!' game in the car, we ended up in Lakewood, west of Denver, at a place called 'Celebrity Tattoo'. I nearly cacked myself when I saw how they were gonna do it - Kat went first and I couldn't watch! But once it came to me it wasn't nearly as painful and torturous as I envisioned!

Anyway, today is my last day in Denver. I've been chilling out with Joe this morning watching Clifford and The Incredibles, and now I'm all packed (after piling a load of my stuff into Matthew's bag on Sunday!) and ready to go. I really wish I could stay longer I love it here! But I'm sure if my finance allows I'll be back next summer!
