Colorado Trip 2018

We are getting back into the groove after our trip to Colorado and I want to share some photos!

 --

Our first night, we had reservations to see Steve Trevino at Comedy Works downtown Denver.  It was SUCH a fun show and we both loved his humor (it was centered around parenting young children and marriage).  Also, NO POLITICS which was a breath of fresh air.

We had dinner al fresco on Larimer Square...Fall weather at last!

 The food at Osteria Marco was delicious.  I highly recommend their seasonal bruschetta.

 Drinks at Union Lodge No.1: 

 We did some shopping in downtown Denver, 16th Street Mall was a neat area to stroll.  We picked up a book for EB to add to our souvenir collection.

A really nice lady in one of the shops recommended a day trip out to Idaho Springs and Echo Lake, so that's what we did.  

 Cutest old timey mountain town:

It was hard not to stop at all of the scenic overlooks because they were all so beautiful.  But this one was perfect because you can see some of the Aspen foliage. 

 

We had a special dinner at Guard and Grace, a new hot spot steakhouse downtown Denver.  It was very delicious and very rich:

 Horseback Riding Adventure in Buena Vista, 

This is tied with the comedy show for our favorite part of the trip:

Lunch with a view at Mt. Princeton Resort:

These are just the highlights!  Let me tell you, we just barely scratched the surface on all of the beauty of the Rocky Mountains.  We hope to return in the winter for skiing some day.

We stayed at Hotel Teatro which was beautiful and convenient downtown...we loved grabbing a drink downstairs at The Nickel.

We had breakfast one morning at Sam's No 3 and it was a super cool diner! Two thumbs up.

We also had dinner at the bar at Tamayo and enjoyed it...try the Carne Asada!

That's a wrap on our Colorado Vacation.

Hope y'all are having a great week.
