Day 4: Monday, September 5
We got up early to head up to Estes Park, CO which is about 90 minutes from Denver. It is a really cute town right up against Rocky Mountain National Park. There was an Art Fair going on in town which had some cute stuff. The town itself had lots of "souvenir shops" and "fudge shops." We got some of our Christmas shopping done in this town. I got an amazing caramel/pecan/dark chocolate apple and Bobby got a box of chocolates. Bobby was tired of shopping, so we headed into the park.

We then headed to Grand Lake. I'm not sure the total length of our road trip, but it definitely took all day! We ended the night at some crappy townie bar with overpriced pub food. Then, we went to the town of Black Hawk that seriously has about 9 casinos in less than 2 miles. Of course we lost the money we spent, but got "free" drinks and had fun. This was the earliest day and latest night of the trip!
