Birthday, Zoo, & Fondue

As most of you know, the best day of the year has already passed. I try to make the month of September last as long as I can but I suppose at some point after the 19th I need to stop celebrating my birthday.

On the day of my birth, I took a nice, short, 3 hour work day (isn't there a law saying you aren't allowed to work on your birthday?!). I then met my friend Emma downtown at Jose Maldoon's for a mexican lunch.

Beer and birthday cake.

That evening, Taylor took me to the Melting Pot. We enjoyed the four course meal including cheese fondue, salad, meats, and of course the chocolate fondue. It was perfect, and delicious!

Sunday we decided to take a trip to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. The weather has been perfect so we wanted to get in one last zoo visit before it gets too cold.

My birthday month has been amazing but it's not over yet! Tomorrow is our one year anniversary so the celebrating will continue!

Non-birthday-zoo-or fondue related I wanted to add that Taylor and his Army crew hiked Pike's Peak 2 weeks ago (all 14,000 ft of it). It took about 8 hours to get to the top with the last 2 miles being in snow. Besides getting extremely sunburnt and developing funny tan lines, he survived! 

The Peak the day after Taylor hiked it.

Also, after one year I finally have a Colorado license!
