Day 1 - Arriving in Denver

Greetings friends and family,

We arrived in Denver in once piece, despite Ashleigh's double ear infection/sinus infection.

Upon arrival, we were off to Colorado Springs to see the Garden of the Gods.  Special thanks to Aunt Paula and Ashleigh's friend Tanya for the recommendation.  :)

We hit the road back to Denver as the storms started rolling in.  Ashleigh took a cat nap of what she thought was for sure over an hour but was really only about 5 minutes.  

The hotel the first night was awesome!  After $70 million in renovations our room was very nice!  Ashleigh had a good time pointing out all the details from her job to me, including wall covering and carpet manufacturers.  I was oh so interested in all that she had to say, totally.

Since the hotel was on the Pedestrian Mall we walked to dinner.  As we were exploring, we came upon an art festival, Federal Reserve Bank, and got to check out downtown Denver architecture.  Finally we came upon a great pizza place in the basement of an old building just off the mall.  It was by far some of the best pizza we have ever had.

Thus concludes our first day!
