Denver over Thanksgiving 2019

It was a beautiful day in Pittsburgh but we knew that Denver was having a snowstorm.  We were waiting to see if our flight was delayed then decided, "What the heck, let's just go to the airport!"  (Oh yes, I almost forgot, Julianne got a speeding ticket on her way back from Edinboro.)  So we get to the airport and start walking around.  We see Michael Symon's restaurant, Bar Symon and go in.  Since it was a late flight we ate salads and sandwiches.
The flight was uneventful.  Bill and I watched a movie on his Kindle and Julianne did whatever Julianne does.  We get to Denver a little late and then the fun begins!  It took forever to get our luggage because of delayed flights earlier in the day.  I takes a long time to get our rental car too.  Oh, and did I mention the temperature is in the single digits and there is a foot of snow on the ground!
We were planning to visit Justine before checking into our hotel but by the time we were on our way, she was asleep on her couch.  Did you know that they don't salt the road in Denver?  I'm glad Bill was driving and not me.  Our GPS took us through the suburbs and shopping areas.  We did find a liquor store open, thank goodness!  We finally made it to our Staybridge Suites hotel, unpacked, had a beer, and went to bed.
Yep, there was a foot of snow!  After breakfast we drove over to Teen new house.  We met Oliver and took the grand tour.  It is a nice house with room to grow.  Anthony had to go to work that night so we left him to take a nap and we went to the Stanley Market.  We had a flight at Cheluna Brewing Company and walked around for a while.  We decided to go to Station 26 Brewery for some tangerine beer and popcorn. 
We got back to Teen's picked up Anthony and went to the Escape Room.  We had so much fun when we were there earlier in the year we wanted to try again.  We escaped again.  Ain't no stopping this Prutz / Kern combination!  We had a nice Italian dinner at the Cherry Tomato that evening.
Happy Thanksgiving!  We found Alice's Restaurant on the internet and listened to it at Teen's while enjoying delicious smells of turkey and apple pie.  We nibbles snacks and drank lots of beer until at last the turkey was ready.  It was well worth the wait!
With full bellies we watched Christmas Movies and then played 500.  What a great Thanksgiving!


Next day, we drove to Fort Collins for a tour of New Belgium Brewery.  We also stopped in at ODell Brewing Company and stopped at Black Shirt Brewery as well.  We splurged on mouth watering burgers at Park Burger that night.
Saturday, last day here.  We packed, went to breakfast, then went over to Teen's for last minute snuggles with Oliver.
Went up the street for a light lunch at Ester's.  Said our sad goodbyes and drove to the airport.
As I look back at there pictures and remember all that we have done with our kids, I pray that they will cherish these memories as much as I do.  Thank You, God for giving us the finances to be able to travel and spend time with Justine and Anthony.  I pray that the next time we see them they will have news of a baby.  Amen.
