Colorado Babymoon - Boulder, Part 2
After visiting the meadery, we visited the historic Pearl Street Mall and found some store gems there as well.
We visited a cute stationery shop and splurged a bit on a gourmet ice pop (I think it was basil cucumber, as recommended by the store clerk) that was so-so, but we went to town at the Boulder Book Store (of course we did). There was actually a mead-making book that N really wanted, and then I picked out a cute little bear journal for writing letters to little Baby Bixler, and then we found an awesome illustrated book that we’ll keep as a surprise and reveal after the baby’s born :)
We could have stayed there forever. There were also a bunch more stores we could’ve explored. N said this was his favorite shopping area that we’ve been to because it seemed like they had a lot more stores that were more along our taste, style, interest and aesthetic.
That’s all we really had time to do in Boulder that day. I would’ve liked to tour the Celestial Teas factory, or explore the Flatirons Rocks, but we needed to head back to Denver, so we left Pearl Street Mall, ate dinner at a yummy Italian place that made all of their pasta fresh and in-house (Il Pastaio), and then hit the hay at an airbnb in Denver.
And yes, we did go back to Novo Coffee and Izzio Bakery to pick up coffee and pastries for breakfast before heading to the airport and flying back to Rochester :)
It was such a great trip! I’m so glad it was beautiful weather the whole week and that we got to enjoy so many great things. What a blessing.
