We Googled it!

Driving from Grand Junction to Boulder was one of the prettiest drives I have ever been on.
Many people told us the drive would be pretty, and I believed them, but oh my goodness, it was beyond beautiful, 
especially with all the fall colors going on. 

We arrived at the Google Headquarters and met up with our friend Kenny. 
Earlier this year he and his wife moved out to Colorado to work for Google. We've missed them so we decided visit 
them and to see Google in all its glory. 


Google has everything! When we got there they were serving lunch to all employees and guests for free and it was good food. 
It's an everyday kind of thing. 
They had salmon, clam soup, pasta, salad, and the chocolate chip cookies were something else. 


After lunch we took the grand tour of Google. Kenny was an excellent guide and we got to see a lot of fun stuff.
I mean, look at all these places where employees can take their work! You just don't need to sit at your desk, you can go to 
a different location and do your thing. 


^There was a guy working in the trailer, really so many different places to take your work^

^Small room to have to yourself for work or a video conference- Lord of the Rings style.^

^Designed after the Colorado flag^



Kenny described Google as a mom who is a multi billionaire who takes care of you.
Breakfast, lunch, snacks. It's right there when you want it. 
They had these micro kitchens everywhere where employees (and us) could grab something to eat.


^A mini game room if you need a break or during lunch^
Not pictured- a gym and a massage room.
Also they had all these mini games like table shuffle board and chess. It was amazing. 


After Hallie got off work she came and joined us. It felt so good to be with the Hayes again. 
Two years ago when Andrew and I were only 1 month into our married lives we went to church and went to the 
meeting for new move ins. The Hayes' were there as well for their first time too and we hit it off with 
them and have been really good friends ever since. 

^Just look that view^

We walked down Pearl street, a cute little downtown area with so much life to it.
It was closed to street traffic, cutest shops, and there were street performers. 
Our first day in Colorado and we already fell in love with it.
