Farewell to the Summer of Rhonda

Even though we're supposed to have record high temperatures in Denver this week, I have finally accepted the fact that The Summer of Rhonda is officially over. But, I didn't go down without a fight. This past weekend, Amanda and I planned a fun-filled wrap party weekend and had a blast. We kicked off the weekend Friday night at our home away from home, the rooftop of The Taven Downtown.

After the Rockies game that night, there was a fireworks show at Coors Field for Fan Appreciation Night. The Tavern is across the street from the ballpark, so the rooftop was the perfect vantage point.

On Saturday night, we went to our first roller derby match. The roller derby is something you have to do once in your life, just for the experience. It took us a little while to learn how the game works and how points are scored, but once we figured it out, it was a lot more fun. Also, the people watching is unmatched by any other sporting event.

We capped off the weekend on Sunday afternoon with a beautiful 3.5 mile hike in Deer Creek Canyon.

It was the perfect way to say goodbye to summer.
