Day 13 Boulder

Well it was another fun but low-key day. We had a leisurely morning at Cathy’s beautiful basement flat before taking the 35 minute drive to Boulder. We had a tee time at the Flatiron Golf Course and after taking time to hit a practice bucket we teed off with a couple of local men. Rich and Ed were very nice (not to mention patient) and we had a great time. The course was gorgeous with a lot more water hazards and trees than we’re used to. I didn’t quite make it across a couple of the creeks so I lost a couple of balls (not to mention strokes).

After golf we headed down Boulder Canyon for our last Airbnb flat. This one is a tiny studio cabin that sits on a creek. It’s a lot smaller than the studio flat we had in Denver but it’s still quite nice. The bed looks super comfy so I’m looking forward to a restful sleep.

We’re in the front part of the cabin.

Since this is our last Airbnb flat on our trip, we finished the pasta for dinner before heading to Pearl Street Pedestrian Mall to walk off the carbs. On the way back to the cabin we stopped for a short walk by the creek.

It’s a beautiful evening so now we’re sitting in the yard listening to the creek and the street traffic. But….mostly the creek.

Tomorrow we’re heading to Rocky Mountain National Park. We had a timed ticket for entry between 1-3pm but a bunch more tickets were released at exactly 5pm mountain time so I was able to grab another ticket for 7-9am entry time. That gives us all day in the park instead of just the afternoon. Tonight’s host told us that it’s mating season for the elk and that it’s spectacular to watch. I’m not so sure about that but I’m certainly willing to give it a look see. I’ll let you know how it goes. Night everyone.
