Boulder (Day 3).

Well it’s go home day.. or so we had planned.

I woke up around 8 to find Zach and DJ sitting at the computer mumbling about flights being canceled. I checked my e-mail and sure enough at 4:58am I got an e-mail from Delta telling me my 1:30pm flight was canceled – what! why! there wasn’t any reason for it to be canceled – yet…. Well Zach’s (who was flying on AirTran) flight wasn’t canceled so we headed to the airport to figure out if his flight was going to be canceled as well (cause at this point it had started snowing in ATL).

Over the course of the next couple of hours.. I returned the car, DJ and I waited in the airport with Zach,  Sean picked us up, we ate lunch at Ted’s Montana Grill, Zach changed his flight to Monday and we went back to the airport to get him.

So now we are all in the car headed to Sean’s hotel (cause he was staying until Tuesday – which meant free place to stay – yah!). We changed clothes cause we were going to take advantage of our extra time in CO and go hiking! We headed up to Flatiron, which was about 20 minutes away in Boulder. It was gorgeous… we hiked for about 45 minutes (maybe an hour) found a great spot and took pictures galore. It was my favorite part of the trip – without a doubt. We made our way down the mountain and headed back to the hotel to get ready for a fun night in Boulder. After we all showered and got ready, we headed to the University of Colorado at Boulder to pick up a friend of Sean’s, Hailey. We ate dinner at an amazing sushi restaurant, Hapa. Best sushi I’ve ever had… and I’ll just say the names of the sushi rolls were interesting. After dinner, we went to a movie – Zach and I saw “He’s just not that into you”, and Sean, DJ and Hailey saw “Slumdog Millionaire” .. I think we all decided we didn’t know which movie was worse.

It was a great unexpected day that we all needed and thoroughly enjoyed!
