My parents and I drove up to Georgetown and Idaho Springs today. These are small mining towns in the Colorado mountains. They are about 2 hours from us one way. The drive was really scenic and nice. Georgetown has a lot of little antique and gift shops as well as wonderful ice cream. I bought ice cream for all of us $10. We wandered through the town but I only bought a pair of earrings for $3.74
We went to Idaho Springs next which we hadn't visited before. It was mostly restaurants it seemed.
I took my parents to the Claim Jumper in Denver for a late anniversary present. They have wonderful food, and tons of it. I brought half my steak home and my Apple Cinnamon muffin. Spent $73.28 for dinner.
When we got back home I paid for the gas for the trip. 2.79/gal I spent $23.00
A fun vacation day. Total spent on vacation so far = $125.39
