Ft. Collins


This trip was like something out of the Twilight Zone. I never thought I would have trouble getting out of Augusta in March due to SNOW! But that was exactly the case. While we didn't have snow in Augusta, they did get about 3 inches in Atlanta. Did I mention that it's March?? Believe it or not, Colorado was sunny and upwards of 50 degrees the entire time I was there! While snow in GA may have people thinking there is no global warming...I've got news for you. This is the result. I just can't wait for the weather to mellow out so I can start being on time again. I did the math (because I'm a geek like that) and my on-time departures for this year are below 25%! That's a lot of late flights!
But I digress...I'm here to fill you in on my trip to Colorado. I love Colorado! There's nothing better to waking up in the morning, looking out my window and seeing that amazing view of the mountains. (OK, maybe an amazing view of the beach would beat it) It's beautiful! While I get to visit Ft. Collins 4 times a year, I never really get to do anything touristy. I'm going to try to fix that. What I do accomplish in all of my travels is to eat well! I base my opinion of a town on the meals I enjoy while I'm there. Ft. Collins never fails to deliver. Normally when I'm in town, I enjoy one of the local breweries. While I did sample a tasting at the Ft. Collins brewery, the top meal of this trip goes to Rodzio grill. It was my first time trying rattle snake and I loved it! Rodizio's a Brazilian style grill that serves all kinds of freshly cooked meats. If you haven't been to one, I highly recommend it. A well known chain that can be found in most large cities is Fogoa de Chao.


While I didn't have that much time on this trip, next time I swear to take a few more days and explore the area. (For the record, I've been saying this for the last 2 years)
Next week I head to Boston for St. Patty's day...look out!!
