I'll be a working, moderate, income socially concious Boulder hippie.

I got to spend a wonderful day in Boulder with my parents today. We started at Chautauqua. This is at the base of the Flatiron mountains (pictured) and just a few miles from my parent's house.

The beautiful Flatirons in the sun.

Looking over Boulder from our little hike.

My dad and me at the Flatirons.

We then took a walk down the Boulder Creek Path. Apparently, the snow fall was at about 300% for the year up in the mountains... so, the Boulder Creek, which runs down from the mountains, is VERY high!


A little story behind this next picture. This is a picture of a health food store in Boulder, Alfalfa's. When I was in elementary school, my choir sang the song "Alfalfa's" by a Boulder jam band named Leftover Salmon. We got to visit Alfalfa's today! It was just like the song said:

When I grow up, I wanna work at Alfalfa's!
Where the cheese is dairy free.
A Birkenstocks, Spandex, necktie patchouli grocery store.
I'd have a job, picking through the produce - no pesticides for me!
I'll be a working moderate income socially conscious Boulder hippie!
And I'd drink soy milk all day long
And fest on bulgar, wheat grass, and Windom Hill songs.
Ride home on my mountain bike,
Just in time to turn on my solar powered growing lights.

Spent some time in a few yoga stores along the Pearl Street mall as well. If I lived here again, I could see myself becoming a pretty free spirit!
