Celestial Seasonings Factory Tour

Being as my family is spread out and we all have things to do pretty much most of the year round, we tend to try and celebrate family holidays and occasions a bit late. This time we were celebrating Mother's day yesterday, and to be honest this is how my Mom prefers it because she would rather have quality time with her family than some junky gift. I don't blame her.

Well we all went up to Boulder, Colorado and met up with my Brother who is currently living up there and had the day off. Taking him out for a quick brunch, we all sat around the table eating eggs and trying to figure out exactly what to do since it looked like it was going to rain. Our original plan was to go on a hike, but like I just said it was going to rain. Except for when I go with certain friends, hiking in the rain is usually not as much fun as hiking in sunshine. And our plan had amounted to the idea of just go to one of the homes and celebrate it inside.

That was, until I was able to sway my family to the idea of taking a tour at the Celestial Seasonings Factory located just up the road. Okay, I'll give my Brother some credit for getting tea for breakfast, to where I saw the Celestial Seasonings bag and asked if he had been to the factory.

To The Fires

Up to this point I've been pretty quiet about the world I'm living in, not really talking about my surrounding community or what is truly happening. I think I like to pull myself out of this world when I write blog posts, when I talk about things online, and just live in a small fantasy world that has none of the problems associated with real life issues. Except the fact of the matter is that I just can't. I have friends that live in this world and I owe it to them to talk about the real issues too. So this post is dedicated to all the fires that have been raging in Colorado. I'd like to also note that although not all the stories might be mine, all the photographs are.
