Girls Trip to Denver!

A few weeks ago I took a little trip to Denver to meet up with two of my most favorite people, Andrea and Natalie. We met 8 years ago in Las Vegas while all of our husbands were in dental school together and have been good friends ever since. We haven't had a chance to hang out for a long time so it was so fun to just talk and catch up and spend a weekend without any kids (or husbands)!

We arrived Thursday afternoon and besides going to dinner and to Target, we literally just talked until 1:00 in the morning!

Friday we slept in, ate the continental breakfast at the hotel and then headed to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science to see the "Body Worlds" exhibit. It was really cool. Andrea and I spent 2 hours walking around looking and reading everything. Poor Natalie is 7 weeks pregnant and not feeling well so she just sat and waited for us- sorry, Natalie, for taking so long!

We then went to a really nice mall and did a little shopping. We ended up at The American Girl store where Andrea and Natalie bought some fun stuff for their girls. I just walked around and dreamed about how fun it would be to have a reason to buy one of those cute dolls!

We ate dinner at a restaurant called The White Chocolate Grill. The food was pretty good, but the dessert was amazing! This white chocolate brownie sundae was one of the best things I've ever eaten. Seriously so good.

Saturday morning we slept in again, ate our free breakfast and then got pedicures. We decided to get 4th of July nails and even though they were all totally different, they all turned out really cute!

We then got lunch and did some more shopping. We stopped at a toy store and got some good stuff to take home to the kids. Can't go home empty handed after being gone for a weekend!

That night we headed downtown and ate at the Cheesecake Factory and then went to see a play that Andrea had found called "Girls Only." It was a hilarious comedy about women. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time!

The whole show was put on by these two women. We didn't really know what to expect, but they were surprisingly able to carry the whole show. Definitely worth the money!

After the play we went to a place called "D Bar" which is a dessert restaurant owned by Food Network celebrity Keegan Gerhard. We were a little scared of the menu since none of it made sense to us, but everything was really good. It was the perfect way to end a perfect weekend!

Sunday morning we had to get up early to catch our flights. I almost missed mine since I had to get searched at security (thanks to my insulin pump) and they took forever. I literally had to run to my gate and they said that they had been paging me. Thankfully I made it in time.

The kids were really excited to see me and to get all of their fun surprises that I brought for them. Thanks to Jon for coming up with the idea for the trip and for watching the kids- they loved having an all boy weekend at home!
