A day in Denver

Thanks for making the switch to the new blog! :)

We had intended to go to Boulder today to hang out, but we got a little lazy. We decided to hang out in Denver instead.

This is a picture of Washington Park- a very lovely park in the middle of Denver. It is really close to downtown, my school and the ritzy Cherry Creek shopping area. We love Wash Park! The homes that are right on the park go for 700k+ because the park is so wonderful. They have 3 different paths so that bikers and rollerbladers don't run over walkers. They have a dirt path for those runners who shun concrete. There are always tons of people there walking around, playing tennis, playing volleyball or selling puppies! We would LOVE to live near Wash Park as it is really what living in Denver is all about. MacKenzie enjoyed all of the dogs. There were a ton of dogs! (Please notice her Thanksgiving bandanna- thanks Grammy! She got tons of compliments on being so festive.)After we walked in the park we headed to dinner at the Cherry Cricket. It is our favorite non-chain restaurant in Denver. It is really a bar that just has great food. It is such a misfit in the Cherry Creek shopping district as it is nestled in with a Saks and Neiman Marcus! :) After dinner we walked Mac around the shopping area. She tried to eat a pigeon- causing her mother to scream like a crazy woman because a.) I am deathly afraid of birds those dirty, nasty things b.) she thought it was a toy and really made it mad. The people in Crate & Barrel got quite a show of a small dog attacking a bird while its mother flipped out and its father laughed at both. Hmm. After all of the excitement we took Mac to the dog bakery for a quick treat. She loves that place.

We have not done much else today. We organized the garage. Yay! ;) Tomorrow after church we are headed to Boulder to do some hiking. On the way home we intend to stop at a Cracker Barrel for dinner. Yum! :)
