Lowell and Judy were in town the weekend after the 4th of July. On Friday night, we all went to Marczyk's for wine tasting and got some good meat to grill. They were adventurous enough to try grilled scallops - Dad wasn't a huge fan, but Mom liked them!
On Saturday, we took the Coors Brewery tour. Matt and I discovered that there's an express pass where you can go straight to the tasting room without having to stand in line to go on the tour. Unfortunately, we discovered this as we were leaving, but would take advantage of it in the future. After lunch, we hit up a deli in Golden to soak up all the beer. For dinner, we went out to Parker to have homemade pizzas with Jamie and Doug...and to tell old RAGRBRAI stories.
Sunday morning was a drive out to Rocky Mountain National Park, which included a walk around Sprague Lake. On the way back from RMNP, we stopped at a diner in Lyons. The diner was quite a find - good food and great homemade ice cream. Dad had a banana shake and Matt had a Dr. Pepper float. We'll definitely hit that up again!
Sunday night was the big event - Josh Groban and the Colorado Symphony Orchestra at Red Rocks. We tailgated beforehand and someone took a picture of us tailgating (apparently they'd never seen it before). The concert was excellent. The orchestra warmed up the crowd with some movie theme songs. Then Josh Groban took the stage and entertained us for two hours. He was actually quite funny - although I'm not sure Mom and Dad's generation got all of the jokes. :) The concert was a great ending to a fun weekend!
