West Coast Swing: ‘Merica F#%& Yeah

July 4

What can we say about Independence Day in A great American city like Denver… It was very patriotic. EVERYWHERE. We moved out of Laurens and into our new Airbnb home with Laura and Craig. They were great hosts and had a beautiful dog named Cosmo and a Turtle J. We were set to stay for 2 nights and were very comfortable there. Once we were settled in we decided to get our bikes out and ride to Coors Field to get some scalped tickets for the Colorado Rockies vs Los Angeles Dodgers(fitting that they are playing LA). About half way through our ride it started to rain. So that was an interesting experience in a foreign city. We were wearing our rain coats so we weren’t completely soaked. The rain moved out so there was no delay to the game start. We bought some Coors Banquet king cans(710ml) and bottomless popcorn and found our seats. The pregame show was an amateur hot dog eating contest. Mat was too late to try to compete. The national anthem gave us goose bumps! The game was a bit of a route with LA winning 8-0. After the game they had scheduled fireworks. IT WAS AWESOME! After the fireworks we went to check out the night life. We ended up at a bar called The Tavern where we received a buy one get one drink deal when we gave them our tickets from the game. The DJ was playing some decent music mixed with some old hip hop so that was fun. A leisurely bike ride home listening to some of our favorite American inspired music and our first Independence Day in ‘Merica was complete.
