A Weekend Away Just For Two

The Adagio
This weekend my sweet Honey took me to a B&B in Denver for some R&R without the kids (Thanks to our parents).
Having never been to a Bed and Breakfast it was kind of weird at first. But the house was so cool. It was built in 1880. It is really amazing how they built houses then. So much detail and craftsmanship. I would love to live in a house like this! I just couldn't believe how big it was. The whole time we were there I couldn't help thinking what it must have been like to live in it back then.
After we checked in we went to see the King Tut exhibit at the Denver Art Museum. I loved all the gold jewelry.Then we drove around for awhile looking for a place to eat. Scott and Jen gave us the suggestion to try the Texas de Brazil. It was a prefect choice! This place is amazing!! They have a buffet of salads, veggies, cheeses and bread and more. So we get that first then when we were back at the table, and ready, we turned over our green disks. Then It began. Before we knew it we were being swarmed by guys buzzing around the room with different meats (lamb ribs, pork tender loin, fillet minion, roasted chicken, prime rib, and more I can't think of). Sherman and I had a plate to share between us and it was hard to keep up. Way fun, and desert was so good (we picked some kind of chocolate deliciousness).
Sunday morning we had a real french toast breakfast with sausage at the B&B and got to meet the owner, Helen. She is a very sweet lady. Then we caught the 15 down to the 16th street mall. Spent some time walking up and down looking in the stores before catching another bus to the Bronco stadium. The pregame show was fun. They had guys drop in with parachutes and had a stealth bomber fly over. Having Becca and Travis there was fun too. It was nice to get to tease a Chiefs fan up close (thanks Travis for being such a good sport). The Broncos thrashed them. Good game.(didn't hurt they helped me beat my brother-in-law's fantasy football team either)
We stayed Sunday night and came back in the snow Monday morning. I got to make a stop in Silverthorne to hit the outlet stores and got a new coat(YEA, me!). We got back just in time to order pizza to feed the missionaries. Thank you so much Sweetie, for the fantastic weekend! I love you!
