st. patrick's day

people don't celebrate spd on spd in denver. the parade happens the weekend before, and on march 17 there really isn't indication that it's here. we spent some time trying to find eldorado canyon state park, but really just driving around slushy mountain roads. and then i went to the park and drank beer in the sun. and then i went to a furniture store. and finally, a very crowded bar.

near gross reservoir

oh, two days ago, j, a, and i found this hidden beach behind a mall. we kept thinking other pieces of sand were the beach. and then we found the real beach.
