Boulder for a day

​FIVE WEEKS on the road as of today.
 
We spent the day with our niece Justine, great nephew Felix and great niece Zelda. Eric had to work…
 
But first, crepes for breakfast at a real French café.
 
We drove up Flagstaff Mountain (trying not to over tax Laura’s joints) with beautiful views of the snow covered Rockies in one direction and the city in the other. 

​After a stop in town, we drove up to National Center for Atmospheric Research, housed in an I. M. Pei designed building. They used the local clay in the construction, so while large it blends into the landscape. It’s one of Justine’s favorite destinations, and it has a good view of the Flat Irons. 

We headed east of the city for a late dinner at Acreage, a very hip Boulder spot, catching an amazing sunset on the way.
