Happy Birthday

I decided to come to Denver for Dad's birthday. I missed Mom's birthday so I thought I owed a trip for a birthday celebration. Saturday morning, Dad made his famous "Royal Queen Belgian Waffles" complete with whipped cream, fresh strawberries, and Palisade peaches.

In the afternoon we ventured to the new Union Station. Kudos to Denver for getting the renovation project right! I was thinking that Frank and Mary Margaret from McMinnville would love staying at the Crawford Hotel-right inside Union Station and right smack dab in the middle of all the action. (Hey guys, let me know if you ever do stay there...I will book a room, too!)

Later in the night I met some very good girlfriends for connection and friendship. Meg, Katie, Jess and I sat at Citron Bistro for almost 3 hours engaged in very good conversation. Love you ladies!

Today Mom and I meandered around Pearl Street for the farmer's market. It is amazing to see how much the market has grown as well as all the changes to my favorite little shopping and dining street. Tonight is time with the old neighbors and then tomorrow I head back after paying Liz a visit at her new home in the Solterra development. I may be a tad jealous after that.

But truly, the highlight of the weekend was time spent with the family, and time celebrating Dad's perpetual 59th birthday.
