GrandJunction

Hello all!! Chris and I went to Grand Junction this weekend and fell in love with a town :) We needed to check out Mesa State to see if that would still be a possibility, and it was. It's a great campus, it's right in between both or our families and the town is great as well.
We arrived in town on Friday afternoon, and got settled into our hotel, then proceeded to the college to meet with one of the criminal justice professors. He was super nice and super excited about the program and Chris to hopefully be coming there. A good sign we thought. :) We asked him where some good restaurants in town were and he suggested a few, we thanked him for his time ans were on our way.
That night we went to a fantastic Italian restaurant called Dolche Vida, it was a little pricey but delicious none the less. next came the Gilato shop he recommended FANTASTIC!! They make their gilato there from scratch and when they can they use fresh Grand Junction ingredients. Chris had the pear made from Grand Junction pears. It was great, I had the caramel it was delicious as well.
Chris enjoys his Pear gilato

The two of us being silly with our gilato
On Friday night we had to pick up a couple of things at the local Walmart, and because Chris and I seem to do ALL our shopping if not most of our shopping at Walmart it was a good idea. Well, while exploring we came upon the toy section and to our amazement it was FILLED seriously Filled with Bikes so i had to take a picture

Can you believe this it's madness!!

Goofing around at the College

Saturday we went to the actual college tour, it was great as well. We really think this is the place for Chris to finish his BA. Then when we were done we had some time to kill and went and checked out the local mall, I don't think I'll have any trouble finding a Salon, between there and Mainstreet there are plenty of them to choose from. Then it was to the Ale House for dinner, yet another great and fabulous restaurant. We really enjoyed out time n Grand Junction and can't wait to go back. Sunday we packed everything up and came home. LOVE YOU ALL!!
