Christina and I really love these colorful jigsaw puzzles, and this time we ventured to do a 2000 piece one.

So “new” is a misnomer here, but I just discovered this and it’s new to me. PuzzlesAndRiddles.com has a great collection of 290 free puzzles with more added all the time.
Louisville, CO: Rabbit Hole Recreation Services – Frost Base Z
June 12, 2020 – Every time I visit Rabbit Hole Recreation Services I get a little bolder in proclaiming how special they are. One world-class room is a data point, two is a trend, and three is an identity. Frost Base Z cements Rabbit Hole as a place every escape room enthusiast needs to add to his or her bucket list.
Jigsaw – Starry Night
It’s been a little while since I’ve posted about a new jigsaw puzzle. This time we took on Van Gogh’s masterpiece, Starry Night. And man, it was brutal!
Back to Denver Pt 3: Smooth Start, Rough Finish
Back in IL after a final, exciting day in Denver. The day started off wonderfully and ended on a bad luck streak that continued to this morning, but we’re thankful we got home safely!
Back to Denver Pt 2: Nightmare at 14,000 Feet
Today’s update is going to be relatively short since I want to get out there and make the most of my last day in the Denver area. I’ll have to add photos on Monday!
Back to Denver, Pt 1
Denver holds a special place in our hearts. It was the first leg of our final segment of the 50 state challenge in 2018 (Colorado->Wyoming->Montana->Idaho), and we immediately fell in love with the area. Open roads with high speed limits, great scenery, and fantastic escape rooms.
Travel Restored
Travel is back on the menu! I’ve completed one (very safe) trip, got another (very safe) trip I’m on right now (more on that later!), and I have a bigger trip on the calendar for August, followed by the Red Bull Discovery Lab in September. Indianapolis, Denver, Miami cruise, and Boston, respectively.
Bellevue, WA (Online): Reality Break – Seattle Freeze
As an avid traveler who loves learning more about the places I visit, I really enjoy when escape rooms tie a bit of local lore into their games. I had written off experiencing anything like that during the pandemic lockdowns, but Reality Break Escapes in Bellevue, WA has made a very neat game that scratches the itch for both solving puzzles and getting to see some less common landmarks in a major US city – Seattle, in this case.
