Well, Hello There

Lazyyyy Time! It's cold and gross out so let's discuss something we all love, something to assist us all as we widdle away the hours enduring these chilly days.... that's right ya'll I'm talking about some high quality Netflix time. I pride myself in getting out there and staying active even in the frosty days of winter but not even I cannot deny sometimes all I want to do is get home, cuddle up on that couch and watch a good ole television series. Everyone needs to relax and be lazy from time to time and the season of winter was pretty much designed for such events to occur. See below for my list of TV delights! *Jane the Virgin This one came as a shock to me, I had heard about it before but never really had a clue what it was about. I saw some of my friends talking about it on social media and upon browsing on Pinterest one day I saw it on a list much like this one so earlier this week I decided to give it a whirl. Now, I'm on winter break from colle...

Great Divide Brewery It's no secret that Denver loves beer. The Great Divide Brewing Company is something of a hipster paradise. Curled mustaches and flannel shirts fill this small establishment to the brim. Hipster or not, Great Divide has something for everyone. The drinks were delicious and packed with a punch! I tried the Yeti Imperial Stout and Claymore Scotch Ale, both were fab. Little Man Ice Cream Notice: This list may mostly consist of foods and drinks because that's just how I roll. Sometimes I like to do a little research before embarking on a journey. So when I discovered Little Man Ice Cream on Yelp I knew we had to check it out. Little Man lived up to its great online ratings. I got a two scoop creation of deliciousness along with a mother-flippin' free brownie, my taste buds were pleased and my sweet tooth was satisfied.  Downtown Aquarium Alright folks, get this, the Denver downtown aquarium only costs $18.99 for adult general ad...

Good Day! I'm here to share the exciting, excellent and amazeballz things I saw and did in Colorado Springs. Without further adieu, I present to you, a day in Colorado Springs. Part 1; Wake up super duper early. Traveling from Denver to Colorado Springs takes about an hour and a half. We had a nifty tour on the Cog Railway at Pike's Peak booked at 9 a.m. so we wanted to get on the road with plenty of time to spare. The Pike's Peak Cog Railway was a great time. It was too cold and windy the day that we went, so we were unable to go to the tippy-top of the mountain. Instead, we were taken to a portion of the railway referred to as "the Saddle". The Saddle is said to be the very spot where Katharine Lee Bates wrote "America the Beautiful" and it's easy to see why she was so inspired, it's a gorgeous view!  The Cog Railway takes you so high trees literally can't grow. I have to say, I was quite alright with not going to the mounta...

Oh boy, oh boy.  Do I have a treat for you. I know I was talking travel and Colorado adventures and more of that good stuff is to come, but first I have been inspired. Inspired to write youuuuu a lovely movie review. My thoughts must be expressed, ladies and gentlemen, I now present to you, my brain ideas on the remake of Point Break.  Disclaimer: This will not be a nice review nor will it be a very serious review as I found my breaking point to be around the first 20 minutes into this grandeur film, and with that let us begin! First off a note of anger: why must so many of the movies coming out of Hollywood today be remakes, sequels, ect. Have we run out of brilliant new ideas, must we return to the classics over and over again tearing apart their dignity? Remember Indy.... just think about that for a minute, let it sink in nice and deep to get the rage flowing. Such tragedy, such is life. Ok, enough with the dramatics here we go.  This movie shoul...

Upon arriving in Golden, CO we hit up the Coors Brewery tour because you know... priorities. If there's one thing us Wisconsinites love its beer and I was jonesing for a cold, crisp Blue Moon.  The Coors tour is free and self-guided, you're given an audio headset that explains certain parts of the facility as you weave in and out of different rooms learning about the glorious beverage we call beer. The final stop is the tasting room where you get three free drinks... hey it's educational!! After our liquid-lunch we decided to explore the famous Red Rocks Amphitheater. This venue is truly one of a kind. After driving a short distance up a steep slope, we stumbled upon two giant ship-shaped rocks with a concert-stage nestled between them. The Red Rocks felt like an alternate-land, isolated from civilization and one with nature. One can only imagine the awesomeness of attending a concert there. In addition to an awesome venue, there's also a free museum worth c...

Welcome 2016! I was fortunate enough to have off of both work and school for about 2 weeks. Over this time I went back home for Christmas, traveled to Colorado, got engaged and celebrated the arrival of 2016! Wowza! The past few days have been a whirlwind of excitement and adventure, which is exactly how I like to live my life! We traveled by Amtrak from Wisconsin to Denver, the ride totaled 18 hours! Now that's a lot of Amtrak action! For the most part the ride was relaxing and painless. However, after sitting for 18 hours on a train I do have some advice for any potential train travelers. Jenna's Amtrak tips and tricks: * Pack your own food and drinks- Amtrak offers food and beverage service on the train but why not save yourself a couple bucks and bring your own goodies to nom on. Jake and I picked up sandwiches and various fresh fruits for the ride. Don't forget to drink lots of water! H2O is always your friend, especially when traveling somewhere ...
