Mel's Denver Report

Mel came up today and I just got a voice message from her with some details about her weekend to Colorado with Christian back in April. I could go put it there, but I'm just gonna put it here. So this was  on April 26th, the day after she graduated, so it was a graduation trip. The main reason Christian wanted to go out was to see a piano concert. Mel said Christian was so excited for the concert. He had been looking forward to it for months. Tchaikovsky's piano concerto in D. It had been in his head for months, cause he always listened to it because he's been to Russia and loves Russia. Right before it started he teared up a little bit. Mel said it was cute to watch how excited he was, he was in awe during the whole thing, cause listening to it live is so different.

Other things they did for their 24 hour weekend trip - Flew out in the morning, rented a car and went to Walmart to get food to snack on. Breakfast and lunch. They stopped by a yard sale just for fun, cause they thought it would be fun to see a yardsale in another state, haha. They went on a hike ~

Took a nap in a car, walked around Red rock stadium to look for an outlet where they could charge their phones. They went to a baseball game and got a funnel cake. As a child Mel said she would have seen someone eating that and thought "wow!" but it was too expensive. Now she can afford it, so they got it, and it was only alright. 

I guess she prob should have done it as a kid, though I don't think we ever went to a baseball game. Maybe she saw it at an amusement park. So it was Mel's first baseball game. 

She said the Rockies aren't a very good team. There was a lot of weed and swear words. Mel said Christian stood out like gold or a diamond in that environment. 

She said one funny moment was when they were looking for a vegan restaurant for dinner, and there was some place that had "green" in the name and it sounded like food, but as they were close to the door they realized it was a weed store. So then the concert was in the evening ~

Then instead of getting a hotel where they'd only be staying 3 hours, they just went to the airport and slept there. She laughed when Christian pulled out bedsheets and eye masks from his backpack. With the travel pillows they set up a pretty good little bed. Mel was laughing "What are we doing?" Christian said "We're not that tacky to not bring bedsheets..." 

They just spent all day together for an entire day, and it was good! I think they like each other.
