Colorado Road Trip Day 6: Boulder

Chautauqua Auditorium and Green Mountain, Boulder

Today is mostly a day to prepare for Celeste’s move-in tomorrow. So we parked near the campus and took a walk around it and some of the University Hill commercial district during the morning. We had a few things to pick up and expected that the local Target store would be very crowded, so we drove a few miles to another Target. There were still many CU students shopping there, but it was not excessively crowded.

We all (8 of us including Stan, Susie, Ken, and the kids) went out to dinner to observe Celeste’s last night before moving to CU. We ate at Next Door, a modern and very family-friendly restaurant on Pearl Street, Boulder’s primary commercial district. We had an excellent dinner in a semi-private alcove overlooking Pearl Street, where we could watch a few showers fall.
