Thank you for the suggestions!
I believe the training is located in Golden, but I'll be driving from the airport, so can stop at anything on the way there. Then I'll have the full weekend to go out exploring, possibly making a side-trip to Rifle to meet up with a friend for a little bit. Not sure where all I'll be, but I like to explore!
I'll have to check out New Saigon. We don't have much in the way of "ethnic" restaurants in my little town, so I usually seek them out. I should also see if they have any Ukrainian/Russian/Polish restaurants...
