2014 Roadtrip Day 6 / Dec 30: Laramie - Cheyenne - Boulder

It takes only about an hour to Cheyenne from Laramie. As our regular ritual, we started to load all our stuff into the car. The motel has a pool that was filled to the brim with snow. How awesome! I've always wanted to use snow as cooler and this was the perfect chance. The drinks were warm since we kept in the room, but it didn't take long for them to cool.

We didn't really have any plans so we drove to the Cheyenne Botanic Garden. Nothing green, everything was covered in white. We even spotted this bunny taking a shelter underneath the van. How cute!

Went for a bathroom break in the main building, other than that, there weren't too much we can do as it was freezing cold here. I just snapped a couple photos with Matthew.

Driving on the street covered with snow is more difficult, and I slid for the first time for braking too fast/hard. It was scary not to be in control of your car. Thankfully, there weren't that many cars. The neighborhood looked adorable with everything covered in snow.

Next we found ourselves at the old town, we parked and left the doggies inside the car, walked to the square in front of the train station.

We walked into a few stores to warm up and get back into the snow. Took about an hour or so to cover the entire block, going in and out of shops, but figured we should go back to the doggies.

After this, we head out south to Boulder, which is about 1.5hrs away. We spotted another fireworks shop on the freeway, so we pulled over because Tal wanted to check it out. He said this shop has much more and far better inventory. He got another $50 worth of fireworks!

For the first time, we were stuck in traffic on the way to Boulder. It was dark by the time we arrived at the town center, we walked around the plaza and snapped some photos.

We wanted to cover Denver too before retiring for the night and it's just half an hour drive away so we took off and got back on the freeway. Denver feels more developed and cramped with all the high rise. We didn't do anything much once again due to the freezing weather, but we did stop by at the skate park which is filled with snow. Took the doggies out to stretch and head to the motel.
