Day 6: Denver, CO -->..... (to where?!) Green River, UT






Sunday morning we awoke to an eastern view from our downtown Denver hotel and a beautiful sunrise! Finally a day to sleep in and relax…breakfast was at “Delectable Egg” a local favorite and now ours too.

A long walk down the 16th St Mall gave us energy with all that clean, fresh air.

ALIENS HAVE LANDED IN DENVER!


We picked up a “hitchhiker” at the Denver International Airport (and NO, it is not the alien we met at the 16th Street mall) and now our road trip went from just Jen and Magda --> Jen, Magda, and Jackie!! Jen’s cousin from Chicago joined in on the adventure and what an adventure it was!!
This is Jackie!



Magda, Jackie, and Jen!

The drive from Denver to get to Green River, Utah was mighty scary…the Rocky Mountains were scary while driving at sunset, but more beautiful than any of us thought they would be.












As we got off the highway to stay at our hotel in Green River, Magda asked “umm, Jen, are you sure there are hotels on this road???” Green River is a one-road town off the I-70 and most known for their “Vetere Melons”. We got in too late to actually try these, but apparently there is a festival that celebrates these fabulous melons!


Stay tuned for tomorrow: Zion National Park and then Vegas baby, Vegas!!
