Gas Prices- One Arm Plus One Leg
With the gas prices reaching an average of $2.33/gal., how are you conserving? Gas is expected to go up in price, possibly getting to $3 or more/gal. At what point will you reduce your car usage or have you already?
With the dog days of Summer upon us it is almost crucial that we find time to enjoy ourselves on those rare occasions we are not at work or school. With the price of gas being so high, I have a few local suggestions for cooling off that doesn't require a second mortgage!
Fort Collins Area...
Enjoy some time indoors with a good play! Bas Bleu Theatre off Laporte in Old Town, Lincoln Center... these are just a few of the excellent venues we have in this city for a night of living in your imagination. For more information check out the Friday edition of the Coloradoan or www.colordoan.com and the Ticket section for upcoming plays!
Become smarter in an afternoon! Did you know our area has a children's museum? The Discovery Children's Museum on Prospect is great for all ages! Interactive exhibits, low admission price and more! Tuesday- Saturday 10am-5pm. While I was there I hoisted myself up a large tower with my own brute strength, operated a toy train, pumped a bicycle with a carbon copy of my skeletal self and danced in front a giant colored screen. Too cool! Plus there is the Fort Collins Museum open the same time as Discovery plus Sundays from 12n-5pm- Free admission!
Eat, drink and be merry. Or just take a tour of the Anheuser Busch factory! All I've ever heard is good things about this tour. Open daily July- August from 10am-5pm http://www.budweisertours.com/
Take a hike! Sometimes the driving out of town to get to a good trail is expensive so stick around town! There are miles and miles of biking and walking trails around town plus Horsetooth Resevior is just up the bend! Take lots of water, a little food and a good camera so you can get tons of pictures and email me some of your favorites!!!
