Our Last Days in Denver

We tried cram in as much as possible during our last few days in Denver. Me and Nolan went to see the Denver LDS temple, me and Ryan had a date night without Nolan, we went to the Denver museum of Art, BeauJo's pizza in Idaho Springs, and went to Casa Bonita. We had a great summer in Denver and lived in the nicest apartment ever! It was fun living by family for the summer and being able to go to Utah and have family come stay at our place. Ryan will come back to Raleigh, on August 6th. He needs to finish out his internship, and I need to go back to work. I wish maternity leave lasted forever! :)

Casa Bonita was so much fun! We went there with Aunt Sandy, and cousin Tyler on Friday, July, 15. The line was very long, but it was worth the wait. You wait in line to get your food, order your food, pick it up, and then get seated at a table. They have divers, shows and all kinds of entertainment going on. We had heard the food wasn't very good, but we had a good experience with it. Thanks to Sandy for treating us for dinner....we had a great time. I cannot wait to take Nolan back there when he gets older, I know he will just love it!

We met up with Will on Saturday, July 16 to go to the Denver museum of Art. The building is pretty crazy looking, but the inside is quite different from the outside and there are some fun exhibits in there. Nolan was a trooper and fell asleep while we were walking around. We could see the building from our apartment window, and had been wanting to go see it, so i'm glad we finally did on our last day there!



Ryan really liked this red horse

Chair exhibit




This piece was being built at the museum - the artist wasn't there that day but it looked cool



After the museum, we met up with Ashleigh, Ezzi, Alec and Dianna to drive up to Idaho Springs and eat at BeauJo's pizza. Mmmm, my mouth is watering just thinking about the pizza. Colorado style pizza is pretty good. Idaho Springs is a cute town, with some fun shops. We weren't able to go inside most of the shops, because they closed at 5:00 pm but the ones we did go in we really fun. Great idea Ashleigh!

Colorado Style Pizza = delicious!
