Things to do in Colorado - July Edition pt. 2
1 - AMC theatres holds both a “Screen Unseen” and a “ScreaM Unseen”. I attended a scream unseen (scary movies are my favorite). The concept is that you go to the movie at a discounted price (sometimes 50% off!) but you have no idea what you’ll be seeing. Definitely a gamble but so far it’s been 2 good ones and I love a good surprise! AMC DINE-IN Southlands 16
2 - I am a genius and took no pictures of Elitches BUT I attended Elitch Gardens Theme & Water Park. I spent most of my day lounging in the lazy river. 😎 Huge park with so much to do, food, drinks, shops, shows, and a separate section for kiddos just a bit too young for the big kid rides. If you’re going to the water park get there early, tubes and chairs go quickly! Elitch Gardens
3/4 - On date night we went to Gelato & Co. I have no words it was SO good. I had the Nutella gelato while my boyfriend had cookies and cream. Both were equally amazing but that’s not all they have! They have lots of other sweet treats and it’s a great place to grab something sweet on a nice summer night. There is no shortage of selections! Gelato&Co. Highlands Ranch
5. We had dinner at Rock Bottom. The food was delicious. It’s a casual dining restaurant just like a chilis. First time there but I’d definitely go back! Rock Bottom Restaurant & Brewery
