We decided on The Stillery for dinner. We had some great options, but the food here sounded the best. The pizza was delicious and what I didn't share with Ruby and Jordan, I finished myself. Almost an entire pie. We definitely recommend it if you're looking for good pizza. We enjoyed that it was right downtown so that we could take a walk about and listen to the live music that filled the streets. 

Ruby loved looking into all the various shops, waving, and smiling to everyone.

Jordan wanted this particular photo, and I think it's hilarious. Ruby looks like she's singing along. haha

always holding on

forever grateful for the kindness of strangers and their offers to take our family portrait

This is my new favorite photo of Ruby, it shows her carefree spirit, running free with a big smile on her face. 

Nashville, we can't wait to stop in again. 

It's no surprise that one of our favorite things about Denver was the food. There are so many unique independent restaurants that offer up some delicious eats. Oh, and the beer. You can't go to Denver without stopping in one of their breweries. On this evening we did a little of both.

I'm so thankful that Jen took us to some of her favorite places, it could be very overwhelming to pick on your own. But, if you need some options, these two that we went to were excellent.

We started out with a drink at Joyride Taproom, they don't serve food, but there was a foodtruck offering up something delicious. It was right next to Sloan's Lake Park, so we headed here right after our walk around the lake. 

Despite the look Ruby's giving off, they were very friendly and welcoming to our little one. She loved it, but did not like me stepping away to take this photo. Along with cute little babies, they also allowed dogs, to which Ruby thoroughly enjoyed. 

I love this photo, she loves listening and talking to people. Our little social bug.

For dinner we checked out Avanti, which is basically a modern foodcourt. There were several great choices of food and drink. The location also offered a great patio and view of the city. 

I know this doesn't look too appetizing in black and white, but it was delicious. Quiero Arepas was our pick of all the restaurants, offering up some quality Venezuelan arepas. 

Saying hi to everyone, per usual. 

If your in Denver give these places a try! Avanti was definitely one of my favorites! 

I've been inching through these photos from our last vacation, I know. 

It's been fun to go through them and to relive a little of these fun times. We will be heading on our next vacation this weekend, and I am soooo ready. 

Our main reason for going to Denver, Colorado was to see my friend, Jen. She had to work while we were we were out exploring the red rocks, but we were able to enjoy the sunset with her at sloan lake park. Jen is a very dear friend of mine, so I love seeing a little more of her world in Denver. It's weird being so far away, especially since we're so terrible at catching up on the phone. It didn't seem to matter when we finally got together, though. We had fun and stayed up talking just like we did in college. 

Sloan lake park had a beautiful view of both the mountains and the city.
