Off to Colorado for a few days! Here was my itinerary:
- IKEA! My first time. Wandered around for an hour and a half looking at rugs and trinkets for the home. But, small carry on luggage and a recent desire to not clutter up my life with stuff, I left empty handed! Did eat a pretty tasty $1 cinnamon roll there though. And 3 samples.
- Wandered around DSW and the Park Meadows Mall as part of my random shopping afternoon. Again, no purchases (after all, Christmas was right around the corner!) but it was some nice alone time.
When my friends made it into town we became a little more outdoorsy:

| Panoramic view of the prairie dog holes in Arsenal! |
- First up, a trip to the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Reserve! We were in the mood to hike, and while we didn't really do sufficient research to know that this was definitely NOT the mountains, it was a still a great trip. We started off at the visitors center to learn a little more about the history of this Superfund site and then tried to find some wildlife first in the car and then by foot. Andddd we had success! Bison, white tailed deer, mule deer, tons of coyotes, prairie dogs and hawks!
