Boozing In Boulder

We decided to leave no stone unturned during our time in Boulder.  Our morning began at Celestial Seasonings, where we had the best tour, guide & free tea tasting (the only problem is that the iPhone lost all of our pictures from this outing, including one of the O'Babbitt's in hairnets!)  We then rode our tea high to lunch at the original Lucilles, which was good, other than the awkward encounter we had with our waitress, who noticed that Katie did not order bacon on her sandwich & remedied the situation by removing it with her hands.  Afterwards we boozed a bit at Boulder Brewing & Redstone Meadery before winding down with the flatirons at Chautauqua Park, the Boulder County Farmer's Market, a little Thai food at Khow Thai & tea at the famous Dushanbe Teahouse.

After the tour, Ted left pitchers of all of their beer for us to try...
it was a real free for all & our favorite ended up being Mojo

To be honest mead is not our favorite, but we still had a lovely tasting

We overestimated our biking abilities & had to walk our bikes
