Denver Botanic Gardens Chihuly Exhibit

I came to Denver this weekend once again. I was supposed to come in early June but I couldn't secure a place or person to care for Ches and Stan. I got off work on Friday around 2pm and headed to the Eastern Slope. Friday night I spent time with Mom and Dad and we just chatted and watched some TV. Yesterday we went to see the Chihuly exhibt at the DBG. We had seen the exhibit when we went to Arizona at the Desert Botanical Gardens so I was excited to see the difference between the two installations (see my March postings for pictures from that exhibit to compare!).

Yesterday afternoon I met my friend Amanda, who I haven't seen since her wedding last August. We had a great time catching up and I realized how much I miss her. We made promises to keep in touch better. I then met the family for dinner at La Loma and then met Meg, Amy and Susan at The Village Cork for a night of "girl talk." Today is a much more chill day. I am hanging out with Mom and we are getting ready for a little family BBQ this afternoon. We are going to take a trip to the cemetery and then Robert will come over later. I am planning to meet my friend Kristin tonight so we can talk about her upcoming trip to visit me over the 4th of July. I will head back to Denver tomorrow after meeting up with my friend Jen in the morning. 

When I have come to Denver in the past I would pack in so many visits to friends that it often felt like a whirlwind. So, this time I chose to see people I haven't seen in a while (with the exception of Meg, of course!) and also plan for lots of down time. It has been relaxing and nice to have a change of scenery!
