Some friends and I had decided that it was time to take a trip to Colorado for a short vacation this year. Let me give you a run down of what we did/saw…
We started by heading for Idaho Springs, CO. Once we were there, we ate at a local pizza place called Beau Jos, which I definitely recommend for everyone that goes through the mountains on I – 70. The pizza was fantastic! Afterwards we just had a few beers and b.s’ed back at the cabin. Read more…

Ahhh….Vegas…one of two favorite cities of mine that I had previously visited.
We flew direct from KC to Vegas and one of the most interesting things of the flight was flying directly over Wamego and Manhattan. I had seen the Kansas River from the window and noticed the curves. I’m a huge map dork so I recognized the curves from the air and followed it right into Wamego. I bumped my gf and said, “Hey, I think that is Wamego” and she brushed me off as crazy because we had not been in the air for very long (~30 minutes) and sure enough, I looked further ahead and saw Tuttle/Manhattan.
Now normally I wouldn’t of be ‘THAT’ excited about seeing my old stomping grounds from the air, but this just happened to be a few days after the recent Tornado that blew through the west side and exploded the Amherst area of town. It was pretty obvious, even from the plane, where the path of the tornado went through, scattering a brighter yellow color all over it’s path. Read more…
