Rocky Mountain Showdown & an Important Birthday


Spent the weekend in Denver with friends to watch the Rocky Mountain Showdown: CU Buffs v CSU Rams.  It's a gross understatement when I say that my hubby is huge fan of his Colorado Buffaloes.  (And it's hardly a coincidence that our littlest puppy is black and tan/gold and named Buff.)  

Having graduated from UC San Diego where there is no college football, no tailgating and no school anthems, I've happily adopted CU's school spirit and now fully enjoy the experiences that escaped me.  We'll be making our way out there at least one more time this fall!

A few other Denver highlights include a delicious dinner at Zengo, after-dinner drinks at Beatrice & Woodsley (a MUST see, it's gorgeous inside!), bbq'd cowboy burgers and an outdoor dinner on the patio, Cherry Creek breakfast and shopping.  And I should probably add that most importantly, the Buffs won.  =)

***& Happy Birthday to my lovely sister Judy - hope you have a wonderful day and can't wait to see you soon!***

  1. Looks like you had a blast! My school didn't have football either :( so I happily adopt other teams too.

    So happy football season starts tonight! I think I'm going to cook a themed dinner in honor of it :)

    Happy B-Day to your Sissy!

  2. Looks like a good time - my college football team is really terrible and as a result of their no-win season everyone kind of lost interest in that sport.

    Happy birthday to your sister. :)
