Golden Triangle Day Trip 1 - Rooster and Moon Coffee Pub, History Colorado Center (50% off ), Counter-terrorism Education Learning Lab (50% off ), & Dinner at Zocalo (50% off )

Golden Triangle - Day 1 on a Deal 

The Golden Triangle is a treasure trove of some of Denver's best cultural experiences. Between the Denver Museums, the Denver Library, Spas, theater and excellent restaurants, you could easily find yourself entertained for several days. I have tracked down four recommendations all within walking distance of each other that could be visited in the same day and several of them currently have Groupons that will save on the afternoon. Lastly, at the bottom of this post, I have made a map to help on your travels. 

1. Rooster and Moon Coffee Pub 

You can both start and end your day at Rooster and Moon. Whether you like a smoothie or a caffeine jolt to start the day, they have you covered. The food menu changes through out the day, but they have baked goods and what the restaurant calls 'flats'. The flats are basically square pizzas with a variety of toppings.

If you visit 7pm on Thursdays, you can take part in the weekly Geeks Who Drink trivia night.

2. CELL Counter-terrorism Education Learning Lab - Golden Triangle

Definitely not a education center that you would see every day and unique enough to attract over 70 U.S. Government officials. Developed by counter-terrorism experts, the interactive exhibit educates visitors about global terrorism's history, tools, and media coverage. 

The link to the Groupon below (posted 12/3/13) has three options:

• $8 for admission for two (up to a $16 value)
• $15 for admission for four (up to a $32 value)
• $30 for admission for eight (up to a $64 value)

4. Dinner and Margaritas at Zocalo  

Zocalo received a 'Best of Denver' award from Westword for their chips and salsa, but don't fill up on just chips! They have a wonderful menu of traditional Mexican dishes and a great drink menu.  The owners of Zocalo are from Mexico City, so you can expect an authentic flavor and regular favorites too. 

 

I also was able to track down a Groupon for Zocalo as well. This 50% off deal has two options; but click link for more details.

• $10 for $20 worth of Mexican food and drinks
• $20 for $40 worth of Mexican food and drinks for four

9/23/13 - Memory Foam Pillow, Board Games, and Mr. Sulu Flash Drive

Today's post just features a few products that I came across in my internet travels, take and look and enjoy!

$12 Memory Foam Contour Pillow 

Personally I can not live without my pillow. I take it with me even when I travel. You might think that I am crazy, but hold your judgment until you try the memory foam pillow. I used to get headaches in the morning from my head slipping into contorted positions while sleeping. However once I got the memory foam pillow, I didn't wake up with headaches anymore (at least the literal kind)!

The Happiness Advantage by Shawn Achor (free or 50% off for new Audible members)

I just finished reading The Happiness Advantage book and I have to say that it has helped dramatically shift my viewpoint in my daily life. Shawn recommends simple changes that help change perceptions and thus increasing happiness. May sound hokey, but happier people are generally more successful, are healthier, and quicker to recall information. You might go to a chicken and egg place in your head (which came first?), but study after study proves that happiness comes first. Shawn's book "The Happiness Advantage" is a truly enlightening point of view on the subject and I recommend checking it out. I 'read' it via audio book, which is narrated by the author.

I personally own 3 of these four albums and I'm pretty sure that I paid full price. "Born to Die" is hauntingly beautiful and I never get tired of listening to it. "Blurred Lines" is just fun! Always gets me moving. Lana Del Ray, Robin Thicke, OneRepublic,and Imagine Dragons are all great artist and each in their own respect.
