For our 3rd anniversary Gary and I (actually mostly just I) decided to go spend a day in a city we haven't been to for the day. I picked Ft Collins.
First we went to the #3 restaurant according to Urbanspoon. It's called Cafe Mexicali. They obviously serve Mexican-American food. It was impressively delicious though! Gary had a Steak Quesole and I had a Corn and Onion Quesole. Neither of us could finish but we wanted to. We ended up combining our left overs and headed off to a metal art yard called Swetsville Zoo.
Mostly there were dinosaurs made of metal. While I wouldn't drive all the way up there just for this one site, it was really cool! We had fun looking at the sculptures.
After checking out the Swetsville Zoo we stopped by Walmart so I could grab some nail polish remover since there was a Walmart right there. We then headed over to a movie. We purchased our tickets and were sadly turned away for being too early (30 mins before the movie started...). Gary found an arcade and wanted to check out this game. I snapped this picture candidly and can't help but smile each time I look at it. It's so cute! He's so happy he's smiling. Adorable, right?
After a good game of Terminator we headed to pick our seats and wait for Cowboys and Aliens to start. I was shocked at how full the theater got. Poor Gary had to sit by an obese man who ate loudly through the whole movie. It was really a good movie though! You can tell because I stayed awake for the whole 2+ hours of it!
We then headed out to find our final destination. Coopersmith's Pub and Brewery is the #1 ranked restaurant in Ft Collins according to Urbanspoon. I soon learned that Ft Collins residence apparently are poor critics. It wasn't good food. They did have good home made sodas though!
After dinner we quickly checked out Old Town Ft Collins. It was pretty cool! I wish I had the energy to have checked out the stores but my feet were so puffy I couldn't see my ankles. We did watch a cool street performer make a balloon for a little kid, pop it and make it magically appear in a paper bag.
On the ride home Gary insisted I keep my feet up on the dashboard. When he saw my ankles he shouted "holy cow! Get those things up!". The ride home was fun though. We turned on some country music and sang out loud most of the way home.
It was an amazing day with the boy I love more than anything else in this world. I'm so happy to have him.
