Saturday I flew to Utah. Well, first I flew to Colorado on my way to Utah. And I had a 12 hour layover in Colorado. Lucky for me Crystal lives in Denver and had Saturday off! She picked me up bright and early from DIA and began our greatest day with breakfast at Village Inn. After breakfast we bought a pie and went shopping.
Following the shopping we went on a tour of the Hammond's candy factory. Hammond's is apparently the largest national producer of handmade hard candies. They still do things the old fashioned way including using the old machines from the 1920s. Here we see a candy chef pulling and twisting before cutting and shaping candy canes.
Crystal knows me well. Not only will I run for candy, I will also fly to Colorado for candy. And luckily enough, the tour gave free "Oops" candy at the end. I got a birthday cake candy cane and Crystal gave me her strawberry one.
We weren't too stuffed for a trip to Tocabe, an American Indian Eatery. The Indian Taco was delicious. Afterward we went back to Crystal's apartment for more pie and a little Nintendo. I left Colorado tired and full. I'll certainly miss Denver but more than that I'll miss Crystal.
