Happy Tuesday! My week is very thrown off, I keep thinking today is Monday because Sunday felt more like a Saturday to me (Sunday Funday…). Anyway, I thought I’d use today’s post to re-cap my last couple days in Denver. With the DU Hockey Game, the Van Gogh exhibit and the Rodeo in our first day and a half, we spent Sunday and Monday doing some more relaxed activities. Don’t you love the kind of friends that you don’t need any schedule of activities but you always manage to have a great time? That’s how these two days were, no real activities but lots of laughs.
This is kind of embarrassing to admit, but we actually spent way too much time entertaining ourselves with Maddie’s cat, LaTarian. His tiny sombrero:
Using photo booth on her iPad:
There was also a game on her iPad specifically for cats. This provided way too much entertainment. There’s a little mouse that runs around, and when your cat hits it, it makes a squeek. Also, whenever your cat’s paw touches the screen a paint splotch shows up! Here is LaTarian hard at work:
And his art:
We’re considering selling his pieces. You’d totally buy this, right?
Other activities included checking out a big Whole Foods, Mellow Mushroom for lunch, perusing the GoodWill (don’t ask), and a night of serious fun at a local bar called the Bull and Bush. The crowd was a bit… older than us, but the band was horribly amusing and the place had a fun atmosphere.
For brunch on Monday we went to Snooze. We’d tried to go on Sunday but there was an hour and a half wait. Even on Monday we waited 30 minutes for a table!
It had a really cute retro atmosphere and the food was creative and delicious. Obviously I forgot to take a picture… But they offered gluten free bread, and for the gluten eaters they had a lot of very creative pancakes.
On the way to the airport we stopped at Menchie’s for frozen yogurt. I kid you not, Menchies is by far the best frozen yogurt I’ve ever had. I thought this over a year ago when I tried it and I confirmed it again yesterday – SO GOOD. The actual froyo is just fluffier, like it’s creamier and almost whipped. It’s so hard to describe. But go.
And then I had a GORGEOUS flight over the mountains to my next location: SAN FRANCISCO! I love these kinds of flights, being up so high and seeing the earth way below always gets you thinking about the bigger picture.
Today I’m off to explore San Francisco! Have a great Tuesday!
