Girls' Weekend in Denver

You want to know the Perfect way to start a Girls weekend?  Sushi!!!  We had a place in mind, but the snow storm disagreed and told us to go closer to home.  After checking out a 'few' spots; we chose a sushi restaurant right near my neighborhood.  I think Lisa would agree, the service was lacking (they were closing and pushing us out the door), but the food and drinks were yummy!  Since we were told "You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here" at the Sushi restaurant... we decided to call it a night and catch some zzz's.  We did find plenty of time to catch up the next morning though!
We also had fun visitors from the North!  Annie, Alan and their new 3 month old baby, Braylon came to join us for lunch and spend the night at our house.  There is only one pic of lunch as we thought it told the story perfectly.  We might have wanted to chat for a LONG time at the restaurant and some of us just wanted to go home for a nap.  We might have missed the signs, but at one point, Amy was talking and looked down to see Karsten's hand and face directly in his half eaten plate of food.
 That night, we had recouperated and had plenty of kiddo cuddling time.  It was an uneventful night, but a great night none the less.  It was filled with chatter and even some hot tubbing.  Amy and Alan had a contest of who's hair froze the hardest in the cold temps!





 Alan has never been on a brewery tour before; so ... as we are a part of the Molson Coors family now... we Had to fix that problem.  We bundled everyone up and headed out for the tour.

 Lisa's final day in town was spent up in Winter Park.  It was Cold!  I don't mean "brr; I'm a tad chilly" cold - I mean "My Eyes Are Froze Open" cold.  I believe it was -20 degrees Not including windchill.  WOW!  One bonus was that due to the Extremely cold temps; very few people were sane enough to get up on the mountain.  Lisa and Amy weren't scared!  Lisa is from Chicago and Amy grew up in North Dakota.  This wasn't anything! (ha).  Ok - it was COLD!  But - Totally Worth It!  What a Fun, Sunshine filled day!
Amy and Lisa don't get to spend too much time together anymore and it was great to have a weekend just for us to catch up over the latest dramas and fun filled events that we call our lives.  Can't wait for the next girls' event!  Maybe we go someplace WARM!
