Taste of Cherry Creek

Right outside of the hotel there is a biking/walking path that leads to downtown and other surrounding areas. Everyday I look at the bikers and imagine that will one day be me. Yes, I am in the market for a bike. There are trails everywhere around here. Anyways, this path intersects with a small park that was hosting the "Taste of Cherry Creek". I had seen signs for this all week and wondered what it was. Especially because the sign said free food. So, last night I decided to walk over and check it out. Needless to say it was a complete waste of my time. They had one area with hotdogs, chips and pop and then booths set up here and there that really didn't carry much information. The only interesting thing was that there was a section for kids to make birdhouses...well really the parents made them and the kids watched. I thought about making one myself for the fun of it but changed my mind when the lady asked me how old my child was. I only hung around for 10 minutes...plus it started raining...the park is surrounded by trees and a creek and I didn't feel like getting struck by lightning.

Our hotel offers a free membership to the 24 hour fitness center located across the parking lot...pretty cool eh? After the "Taste" I went there and was about ready to hit the Elyptical (sp?) when I noticed a class was about ready to start. I love going to classes. Turns out it was a dance workout class. It wasn't all dance movement but it was nice to do some of the basics again. It's been a year since I have actually been in class...sad. So, Yay for something to help keep me in shape for when I DO go back.

Peace
