Mountain Man

It took us a while to do it, but Jonas finally had his first real trip into the mountains yesterday, an adventure with Mom and Dad to Idaho Springs. There, he got to enjoy one of Mom and Dad's favorite places, Beau Jo's Pizza. This isn't quite like the New York pizza Jonas has already been accustomed to eating. In the mountains, let's just say they do things a bit thicker, if not delicious in their own way. At Beau Jo's the crust is so thick...

...they give you a container of honey at each table to drizzle on top when you're nearing the end of your slice...

...Jonas, of course, took to the place instantly. First, he took thoughtful consideration of the menu and its insightful history of Idaho Springs' mining legacy...

...but then he took even more playful consideration to his kid's menu, having a blast while we waited for our food...

...but afterward is when the real fun began for Jonas. After practicing his walking down Idaho Springs' main drag (with Mom and Dad holding each hand), Jonas pulled up a bench with Mom and watched as the cars and trucks zoomed by...

...reaching out for each one as if it might be the last one to cruise by that afternoon, Jonas could not have been happier, thoroughly enjoying his first adventure into the mountains.
