I'll be honest. As I get older, I get thirstier. What does it mean to be "thirsty"? It means desperate for attention. A younger person had to tell me what it meant. And unfortunately, I have found myself in a very thirsty stage of life.

Sometimes my husband will say, "Hey, Sadie, what would you think about taking the kids to do (blank)? My first question is whether or not there's a good place for Insta pics. Or thirst traps and the youngsters say.

So where's the phattest place in Colorado to take pictures? Come sit next to me, and I'll fill you in.

Rocky Mountain National Park

Stop what you're doing and grab your hiking shoes, Patagonia hat, Lululemon cross-body bag, and get yourself up to Estes Park/Rocky Mountain National Park because basic chicks love that natural light.

While taking my own thirst-trap photo on top of a boulder with the water raging behind me, I couldn't help but look around and see how many people were teetering on the edge of the rock just to look mountain-cool effortlessly.

So I did what anyone with ADHD would do and jumped over to Google to find out how many people have fallen off a mountain over the past 10 years taking a selfie, and the answer I found was that over five hundred deaths have been caused by taking dangerous selfies.

Wait, what were we talking about?

Sunset Lounge Rooftop Bar

Picture this: soft and low lighting, quiet live jazz playing, the sound of a drink shaker rattling, and my 43-year-old azz trying to take a sexy selfie on the balcony overlooking beautiful downtown Fort Collins.

Doesn't that sound cool? I think so. The Sunset Lounge Rooftop and Bar will put you in the mood for fake laughing and spending 20 minutes trying to set up a shot that looks completely random and natural.

So that's it.
