Denver- 1st Post Quarantine Travel Experience

Soooo Denver, yeah it’s a great city, even during a pandemic. We had planned on going during March, but of course the world came crashing down, so we pushed our flights back and were determined to go no matter what. I made sure to have lysol wipes, alcohol spray, masks and hand sanitizer. I think I might’ve been overly cautious but it was worth it, we had a really enjoyable and safe flight. If you plan on flying keep these things in mind—American Airlines isn’t doing in flight service (which is fine) and although everyone had masks on the planes were packed! Sanitize, sanitize, sanitize!

When we landed in Denver, it was smooth sailing. We dropped our bags off at the 420 friendly airbnb and headed to the nearest dispensary. I had a few items in mind, so I tried Dixie Elixirs, Berry Lemonade with THC and Mary’s CBNa transdermal patch. The elixir lasted the entire weekend, let me tell you both products are top notch and effective. The next day explored Lodo, Larimer Square and checked out the Nari Ward exhibit at the Denver Museum of Contemporary Art. It was such strong and emotional exhibit that displayed the juxtaposition between Amerikka today and African heritage.

I was determined to go for a hike, so the final full day we went to the lovely Green Mountains. I didn’t prepare well for it, but thanks to no humidity we made it to the very top without an ounce of sweat. It was beautiful and peaceful, yet exhilarating because this was a first for both of us. Later that afternoon we lunch at a place called Tupelo Honey that had the most delectable fried chicken and pancakes. For dinner, we visited Humbolt Kitchen which has an extensive and well priced menu to close out our final night in the city. Denver is just one of those places that makes you feel welcomed, no matter who you are. We had fantastic foods and incredible service, we met unique people and just enjoyed spending time together.

It’s all about making memories for us and this is one I’ll never forget.
