Getting There: We flew out Friday afternoon from Milwaukee Airport on Frontier Air. While the flight itself was fine, there were some procedures Frontier follows that make no sense. Not sure how soon I will book with them again. after landing in Denver we caught the shuttle to our car rental agent and found an extremely long line. Since we used Hotwire to book our car we could not use any preferred/member status tricks. After ten minutes and little distance covered, we found out they had self-serve kiosks in the other room. Five minutes later we were in our car......and facing a huge deluge of rain. We were on the 470 when it came down in sheets. Folks were pulling over. At first we though "what's their problem, it's just hard rain?" We pulled over a minute later. The rain was over in five minutes and we were treated to a vibrant rainbow.

Saturday: Hung out in the morning while Dave's family prepared for a camping trip. We walked around, took some pictures, and rode around in a 4-wheel thingy.
We left our family's house and headed south to Longmont. Our plan here was lunch at a brewpub and tour another brewery. We got to Longmont a little early for lunch so we walked around. The town had a great tourist infrastructure with lots of sculptures, public parking, directories, and historical markers. However, there really weren't too many interesting stores.

Lunch time arrived and we ate outdoors at The Pumphouse. We tried their porter, stout, cream ale, scotch ale, dunkel, and wheat (these were small samplers). Most were very good. Holly had a Cuban Sandwich and Dave had the Caribbean Chicken (curry/jerk combo). Very good and VERY large sandwiches.
Dave tried, but failed, to resist buying a tap handle to add to his collection.
More fun to come in our next post as we continue to tour another Longmont favorite!
