If we haven’t met, my name is Ryan, nice to meet you! I live in Centennial and have been living in CO since August 2013. I’m not a native but got here as fast as I could!

I’m a content creator who makes videos on YouTube teaching people How to Make Money Online with a Full-Time Job!

To kick things off I thought we could all use a little laughter courtesy of Dude Dad and his Colorado Transplant School 🤣

FOOD & DRINK

Local Mexican Joint Face-Off

Not One but TWO local Mexican restaurants are opening new locations in the Denver Metro area.

FINALLY, Los Dos Potrillos has come back to Denver!

The Mexican restaurant announced on its social media that its sixth location in Denver will be officially opening on April 15 in the former Hacienda building just off South Colorado Boulevard in the Virginia Village neighborhood.

Another local favorite Mexican join is La Loma which has announced it’s opening 2 new locations Parker & Greenwood Village.

La Loma hosted a grand opening for its newest location in Parker at 9355 Crown Crest Boulevard. While this marks one of several locations in the metro, it all started in a small home in 1973 with the Mendoza family.

The owners announced they are also opening a new location in DTC off Belleview Ave.

Okay, so I gotta know…

Time to vote for your favorite!

EVENTS

One Waterpark to Rule them All?

Guess who almost took the crown for greatest waterpark in the country?

Yep, Water World!

With over 70 acres of rides & slides, Water World is a Denver staple. I remember the days of old where I would take my kids on the dinosaur ride and they were around 5-7 years old just screaming their faces off….. it was great!

Wondering who made the coveted Top 10 list in the US?

Here are the other water parks that made the list:

1. Splashway Waterpark – Sheridan, Texas

2. Water World – Federal Heights, Colorado

3. Aquatica Orlando – Orlando, Florida

4. Splashin’ Safari – Santa Claus, Indiana

5. Lost Island Waterpark – Waterloo, Iowa

6. Island H2O Water Park – Kissimmee, Florida

7. Soaky Mountain Waterpark – Sevierville, Tennessee

8. Water Country USA – Williamsburg, Virginia

9. Adventure Island – Tampa, Florida

10. Aquatica San Antonio – San Antonio

There you have it, if you’re a waterpark nerd definitely put these other spots on your bucket list for the Summer.
