An Easy Out

The whole point of going to Niwot was to make an easy getaway where we actually take it easy.  The problem with home days is that I always have projects or ideas or biz and it's difficult for me to just stop and be restful.  Today was that day...even if it was more biz than initially planned!

We ate lunch at the Cheese Emporium.  Not our first time there, but our first time for a meal!  It was amazing...

After that, we went to Serendipity and Target.  Then had a super relaxing afternoon back at the Inn! The grand staircase...

We ate dinner at Treppeda's for dinner and had THE best lasagna I have ever tasted (sans marinara)!
And looked good doin' it, too. :-)

Valentine's

A tour of the Niwot Inn (I told you!):

 Wine & cheese in the afternoon every day!

 Love this fireplace...

 Prom pose before dinner at Colterra!

I'll spare you the myriad pictures of each course we took; needless to say it was a lovely Valentine's Day meal!

Thnow!

Big Kid

It was a good Target Date!

A Drift

I experience sledding for the first time in the 30 years I've been on this earth.

Let me tell you: it was terrifying.  I miss the lack of awareness of one's mortality that one loses with age.

That being said...I'll be going again!

The Big Game

Man did the Bronco's end up absolutely eating it today.  But we still enjoyed our annual Baker St Pub Tradition!

 "Hey, so I realize I ruined your birthday, so I got you something," said Tommy when he arrived.

"Oh Tommy, you're a dweeb."

Good lookin' in Blue and Orange.

 I wanted to be a part (albeit awkward) of it, too.

Carnival 2014

It's becoming a very traditional weekend.  Sans Hudsons this time around though...kinda sad.

Date Day

We went shopping. :-)

Target socks.

ON Flats.

 Best shirt EVER at Old Navy.

 Mike is not usually a fan of the ON...

 He got over it.

Take a Hike

You can do that in Phoenix when it's January!

 Cacti!

 The Desert.

 Boys.

Danger Zone

Poor Jess was down for the count today, we think due to the previous day's brunch...Fiona was very sad with her on the chair.

 So the three of us let her rest and went shooting.

 For my first time I was pretty good!

 I attribute it to an intense focus on following directions.  Focusing on the target didn't hurt, either. :-)

PHX Day 1!

We ventured for brunch at Morning Glory Patio at The Farm.  So lovely, but the food was truly incredible!

We decided to spend the rest of the completely cloudless and beautiful day cooking, sunning, and enjoying adult beverages purchased at...

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!

 We did stop by to see the new temple.  Wow.

 Squeezed in a dog walk...

 And some puppy love!
