Boredom Conquered!

Karalee and I woke up today and realized 4 things: a) neither of us had showered for the past forever b) we both had no future plans to entertain us c) We were basically in a state of unproductive patheticism, but d) you can always find joy if you just go looking even if you are unshowered and broke so....

Today we had an adventure! The first of many over the next month we decided, but anyway, Karalee, Taylor (he also was in our same state of miserable peonism) and I set off to rid our miserable selves of boredom! And I just wanted so desperately to go the Carriage Museum, (because, what? It's like the Funeral museum--who even knew there was such a thing, and who has even been to one?) but we of course got lost. However, it afforded us many other great adventures. Such as

Helen Hunt Falls! We asked this precious old lady named Nanetta (who was a twin. Instant endearment) for directions and ended up having a billion minute conversation with her just because she was so charitable! But she inspired us to visit the falls. So we did.

We didn't take the full hike, but here's Karalee and I in our true form. I'm looking at her like she's weird, she has her red purse, she's wearing my shirt, and she's quite happy about it all!
We went far enough to see the wall Taylor built for his eagle project. Nice, eh? Yes, he is holding my grandma 90 lil white purse, which by the way, got many good pictures today.


After driving through the glorious netherlands of Colorado, we finally found the Carriage Museum and it was so wondrous! We had the whole thing to ourselves and we made good friends with the curator (3rd generation native, you know) so he let us actually get in some of the carriages!!!!! It was complete BLISS!!

I felt so quaint and happy and I wanted to buy a carriage and ride it around town!
But Karalee's faithful car was fine, and she was a pretty good chauffeur. When her eyes were open, unlike in this once again very characteristic shot. hahaa

We also stopped at the Bookman bookstore by the place where they used to pick us up for work and yeah. That cat was still there. It was a quiet enviroment. But i quite liked its romantical nature.

We also finished off the day with free fish tacos from Wahoos. They were surprisingly delicious!

It was SUCH a beautiful day and I must have taken at least 21 pictures of the Peak. It just was so endearing! So good adventure. Lessons learned: a) Go to the carriage museum b) accompany us on any of our future adventures c) Colorado is the most BEAUTIFUL PLACE in the world! d) Boredom can be conquered at no cost to anyone in the near vicinity!
