Who would have thought, my first night at my SUMMER internship, I'd be drinking a mug full of peppermint tea, next to a crackling fire, while the snow tumbled down the roof of the Inn?!?!
This place is just sincerely breathtaking. CAN YOU HEAR THE PITTER-PATTER OF MY HEART?!?!
As you might of guessed, I made it to Estes Park!
Momma and I had quite the adventure up here. Stopped by Denver....well a tid bit south in the foothills(!!!!) where we took these twisty, windy roads to see a friend of my parents.
The man lives in a house that was once a cult headquarters. All the stories were so zany. One of the rooms had a giant window like the one's in the sultan's castle in Aladdin! ALSO his family owns, THE most LUXURIOUS horse barn I've ever seen!! It was nicer than most dorms I've had the pleasure of living in (:/)
After the BEST fish tacos I've ever had, we headed up to Estes! My mother was not created to live in cold weather. As we continued up the mountain, she exclaimed, "You are IN the mountains! This IS the MOUNTAINS!" We ascended into a cloud of snow, the yelling continued, as if I had told her I was interning in FLORIDA, "IT'S SNOWING! IT'S SNOWING A LOT! Chelsea! That IS SNOW!!!" Homegirl just gives me the giggles.
The Inn is AMAZING! SO precious! The staff is SO GREAT as well! We went out to eat in town then went to the grocery store. It was probably one of the most delightful grocery experiences of my life. Eleven of us bust through the doors and our wonderful, adorable Innkeeper grabs a basket and from then on it looked like ten ducklings followin Momma Duck. She'd go down an aisle and yell, "Cereal! Pick your cereal!" Funny Funny site! We get to the cookie aisle and she says, "Cookies, Candy, and Ric Cakes?! We NEED this aisle!!" I am for sure in the right place :)
After that, we went back up the mountain to unload groceries and fulfill the scene I described at the begining of the post :D
I have a WONDERFUL roommate up here, Emily. She is from Michigan and just a doll. She is a Front Desk Agent as well. I am noticing that all the FD interns are very tidy, organized people....how did I get through the screening? I WILL say, as a shock to both of my roommates in Stilly, that my room is starting off pretty organized...you'd be floored if you saw that I have a place for everything (which I never do at home, for those that don't know mw very well :/)
This is the Summer of change! I'm organized and I was up naturally without a blaring alarm clock at 6 am....what?!?! Could an all around, new, clean, well rested Chelsea return from this endeavor? Only time will tell :)
