Its finally the start of summer! This month was also fun that my company Wayin acquired another company (Engage Sciences) and so its been great to meet all my new co-workers! Travel Santa Fe, NM This month I went on a quick road trip to Santa Fe, NM. I had been back in the 90's as a child, but didn't remember much of it. I didn't plan anything for this trip so I mainly just walked around the main square and shopped. It reminded me a lot like the square in Antigua, Guatemala, and I had fun shopping for rough

Local Activities: The Beach at A Basin

By |March 15th, 2016|Categories: Local, Travel|Tags: , , , , , , , , |0 Comments

In Colorado, when someone says they are "heading to the Beach" this doesn't conjure up images of white sand and the crash of the waves. Instead it means one of the 15 picnic areas at Arapahoe Basin. These highly sought after parking areas are perfect for events, as they have close proximity to 3 of the chairlifts at the resort. Check here for pricing and reservation information. As weather warms up, these areas take on a party atmosphere as people eat, drink, grill, and just hang out in-between runs. My company has had a Beach Party Ski Day for the

I myself identify with the Dark Side, cause they've got cookies! And they really aren't the villains of the story. Plus even Vader likes to travel! Vader being greeted home at DIA The heroes of Denver.

May the 4th Be With You

Happy Star Wars Day! Today is May the 4th Be With You and tomorrow will be Revenge of the 5th! I love the original Star Wars, and have a few lightsabers. My favorite mistake of the original movie is when the Stormtroopers enter a room and one hits their head. I'm also very excited for the new movie. Millennium Falcon part was amazing!

2014 The Year of Changes – Part 3: Travel

By |December 31st, 2014|Categories: Travel, Year in Review|Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , |0 Comments

This is Part 3 of my 2014 Year in Review. Travel With most of my time and energy for the year being tied up in job hunting, job getting, job starting, putting things into storage, moving, house hunting, and moving again -  I didn’t travel much this year and ended up not going on my trip to St. John, USVI. USVI got the axe mainly because I wanted to save money for my new home, and because the trip had originally been scheduled for my first week at Wayin. So instead I focused on experiencing more of downtown Denver. I

2014 The Year of Changes – Part 2: Home

This is Part 2 of my 2014 year in review. Home With my change in jobs, I ended up commuting from North Boulder to downtown Denver which was a much longer commute than I was use to. But to be fair, I lived 7-10 minutes away from LifePics and so for years was spoiled with being able to go home for lunch, play with my dog, take a nap, and then head back into work.  So the hour plus commute was a big change. Right after I accepted the job at Wayin (but still at LifePics), out of the blue

2014 The Year of Changes – Part 1: Work

By |December 31st, 2014|Categories: Year in Review|Tags: , , , , , , , , , |0 Comments

When I wrote 2013’s Year in Review my only plans for 2014 included another trip to St. John, USVI and work more on the blog. As you can surmised from the blog - neither of those plans happened because I had no idea how different my life would be this year. So instead of doing my favorite travel memories of 2014 I’ll share the big changes that happened this year. And as I started writing, I realized that there were so many changes that I needed to break the 2014 Year in Review into multiple posts. So here is Part
