Fort Collins Adventure (day three)

click to make larger

Monday was our last day in Fort Collins and we tried going to the Petting Zoo but every map had a different address and the phone number was wrong on their website, so we hit up downtown one more time after breakfast and then hit the Shops at Centerra and the Loveland Outlets where I spent way too much money on fall/winter stuff for the kids, but EVERYTHING was on sale for Labor day and so it was justified in my head. :) On our way out of Fort Collins we stopped by the Colorado Visitors Center where everyone asked how old my twins were. I just smiled and said they are just close in age but not twins. THEY DON'T EVEN LOOK ALIKE PEOPLE! Whatever. We went on a little hike and then hit the road.

We spent less that $65 on this entire trip (including gas and excluding my shopping today) and it was so much fun. I am so grateful to my husband who really did an awesome job planning this vacation and really spent all of his time with the kids. It was more a vacation for me to sit back and relax and him to get down and dirty with the kids and I love him for that!

I'm glad you had such a good time. I've never really spent anytime in Ft. Collins, just drove through it. Oh and people ask me about my "twins" all the time too.

I have never had the desire to go to FoCo, but more power to ya! I missed you and I'm sorry if I sucked the fun out of your Sunday. The kids are cute, as always. You know what? FoCo totally beats DizzWo any day!! I now like FoCo.

I lived in the Fort for 6 years and I didn't do HALF the stuff you guys did on your trip! Of course, the discovery museum for kids would have been kinda weird as a college student, but still... looks like a great trip!

Sounds like you guys had a fantastic vacation and that's awesome that you were so thrifty! I love the discovery center that we have by us! and I think it's awesome of your husband that he planned all that by himself! Thanks for your toddler website by the way, I love it! I wish though that you could take a picture of our art gallery since I can't see it in person.
