\"\"<\/a> Well we made it! \u00a0We have decided on Fort Collins as a place to settle in and use as our HQ while we explore Colorado and the west a little more.<\/p>\n

We arrived in Colorado on the 12th of August and set up shop in a hotel for a week. \u00a0The trip was long and took us four days.<\/p>\n

We headed south and hit Lexington so that we could visit with Lori<\/a>.<\/p>\n

From there we went to Saint Louis and then to Salina (just outside of Topeka) Kansas, and from Salina into Boulder.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Once past Topeka, Kansas gets super boring. \u00a0And even the first part of Colorado is super boring. \u00a0Then you hit Denver and you start to see the mountains off in the distance. \u00a0That’s when you know you’re in the right spot!<\/p>\n

The saving grace of going that way is that the speed limit is 75.<\/p>\n

Surprisingly you will find radio stations to listen to that are not all spiritual or country in nature. \u00a0This becomes very helpful during the flat uninteresting travel!<\/p>\n

I don’t do hotel reviews but I will give a shoutout to where we stayed because it was amazing.<\/p>\n

We were at the Hyatt House Broomfield\/Boulder<\/a> and it was a fantastic hotel. \u00a0The rooms are suits with a kitchenette and living area along with a bedroom. \u00a0The kitchen is full size and comparable to what you would find in a small apartment.<\/p>\n

Everything was clean and the beds were comfy. \u00a0They offered breakfast in the mornings and in the evenings they offered snacks, appetizers (that could be a meal), and drinks. \u00a0The evening social was from M-Th and they had free Fat Tire on tap! \u00a0All of this was included in the hotel stay! \u00a0I don’t want to make this into a review post so I’ll end there. \u00a0If you have questions about it though, email me and I’ll share.<\/p>\n

During that week Scott and I drove all over looking at different areas and looking at rental houses. \u00a0We ended up being really disappointed in what we saw. \u00a0I was also getting really frustrated because contacts for rentals that we wanted to see were not calling me back.<\/p>\n

Scott said that we should still keep Fort Collins in mind as a\u00a0possibility\u00a0and we took a spontaneous trip up to visit. \u00a0We loved what we saw as we drove around. \u00a0At that point we said we would give the Boulder area another go but then we were going to look at rentals in Fort Collins as well.<\/p>\n

Boulder rentals were a bust!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Friday we drove back up to Fort Collins to look at several rental homes. \u00a0We picked one and by Sunday we were able to move in!<\/p>\n

So we’re here and calling Fort Collins home!<\/p>\n

I’ll have a few posts coming up on the places that we ate while we traveled around, so look for those soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
