Memorial Weekend Get-Away...Denver

View from our balcony...pics at the end show the mtns. better. We found this condo through VRBO. It's located in the Brooks' tower, downtown Denver. Our first night, we found the best thin-crust pizza. Proto's The Riverfront REI is an amazing old, brick building, several stories high
Our kitchen
Statue of a miner outside our building
Memorial Day parade
Art festival...we especially like this portrait artist, who was
painting as people were walking by
The Ritz-Carlton Hotel...we ate at Elway's inside
"Living the Sweet Life" bakery...NUM
Jack found out about this ice cream shop
One of our breakfast spots...Cherry Creek
Bike riding
Bird-infested trees near the zoo/City Park
City Park
Mountain Views from our balcony
We also went to a Rockies game, where they suh-lammed
St. Louis, 15-4. Great game. And, we went to the IMAX and
saw "Born to be Wild", about two women, one in Kenya...the other
in Borneo, who both rescued baby elephants and Orangatans and
nurtured them to be later set free in their natural habitats. And,
saw "Pirates of the Caribbean". Great weekend!!

L.O.V.E your new hair! It looks shorter than when we saw you the other day. Is it? Very sassy and cute! It's it an A-line or bob? Oh and your green jacket...Jcrew? I think I saw that one online but because J was so delayed in giving me the ok...it was gone by the time I looked back at it. :)
Oh! I suppose more importantly...looks like you both had a wonderful time in Denver and a fun weekend!

Looks like you guys had a lot of fun! And I was just about to say the same thing Emily did... love the new haircut! Don't you love short hair? I think it's so much easier and nice for the summer :)
