I packed all of this for two days, but of course I only wore three things! |
We stopped at the Outlet Mall on our way there on Friday night so we got there pretty late. We walked down 16th Street and went to Maggiano's for a quick dinner. I got a Bellini Swirl to drink and loved it!
On Saturday, we checked out the hotel restaurant's buffet. I was pretty impressed, but I typically am pretty impressed with large amounts of food. I also got my favorite drink in the world, a bloody mary! Seriously, I cannot get enough of these. I could drink them day and night.
Obviously, I needed time to digest after the copious amount of food we ate so I took a little rest and we headed to the Denver Botanical Gardens. I could literally spend days here. I also love being a tourist and taking pictures, and I took over 230 pictures of plants, just plants not people. I hope that's not too weird.
Saturday night was kind of a wash. We had big plans to go listen to live music outside and watch a Broncos live scrimmage, but the rain ruined our plans. But we ended up sitting in a hot tub on the terrace in the rain, and it was absolutely wonderful. Because of the rain, we ate dinner at the hotel (again). There was supposed to be a prime rib buffet, but when we got up to the buffet it was all gone. They ended up just letting us eat for free! Otherwise, it would have been about $30 a person!
Sunday was spent exploring downtown Denver and drinking more bloody marys, but I did not take a single picture. I guess those flowers really tired out my picture taking. I ended the weekend reading Life of Pi. I am struggling to get into it but the more I read, the more I like it. Have you read it before? Did you like it?
fun weekend! I am the same way with pictures, I go nuts end up having to delete hundreds of photos, lol.
