LAST DAY OF THE FIRST TRIP (other than driving home)

10-1-10

Plaza in Denver

Denver, Colorado

After our exciting firm visit to Wenk the other day, we started our new day with a very enthusiastic ride on the free mall bus, which took us to the end of the 16^th street mall. Once we were at the end of the mall, we took a leisurely stroll down to Commons Park. Once there, we got a chance to explore the park a little bit before we started on our section views of the area. After we finished our sections, we were given our project details and groups for our “score card” projects. After we got to our sites and were set free, we all started on different things and headed in different directions. A little tight on money, Matt and I had a wonderful meal at a Denver exclusive, McDonalds (dollar menu). It was probably the sketchiest one I’ve ever been to. Afterwards though, it was back to work.



SNAP DRAGONS!



My group and I worked for a while on our projects, but around five, we decided to “put a fork in it”. We quickly ran across the street to get Kat some chocolate covered marshmallows from the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. After, we had a happy Kat on our hands. Once back in the hotel, I found my roomies taking a nice nap, which I quickly woke them up from. Being our second day in Denver, a few of our class mates decided to take in a bit of the night life. Between Kat, and Matt bickering for two hours, trying to get some work done, and people frequently stopping by the room, we soon decided to just order some pizza for dinner. Plus that way we didn’t have to walk very far. Deven, Emily, Kat, Matt and I decided we would split three pizzas between us all, so after probably a half hour or so of deciding what to order, we finally called in our order. Twenty minutes later Matt and I went to go get the pizzas. That’s when we found that we had called the wrong Papa John’s and our order wasn’t there. Thank you to the nice people that work at the East and West Colfax Papa John’s we quickly got the situation fixed, though. In only another twenty minutes we were enjoying our pizza back in the room. It was a little disappointing to see Deven full after only one piece, because she filled up on snacks while she was waiting. After getting stuffed on pizza and orange Kool-Aid (provided by Kat) we sort of just laid around.



Pizza Party

 It wasn’t long until Matt and Kat started bickering again though. All she wanted was to go to the zoo, but that quickly turned into a large debate. Needles to say, I think we are all going to the zoo sometime soon. That was pretty much our night, we sort of just sat around and had fun together. I’m sure some of the people that went out have some great stories; I just haven’t heard them yet.
