One of the perks of living on a tight budget is that our kids get excited about little things. We're talking, really excited. After booking the hotel, I called them down to share the news that we'd be spending the night in Denver and you would have thought I had surprised them with a trip to Disney World. The week before was spent researching what we'd like to do, counting down the days, and I found myself frequently answering the question, "How many more sleeps, Mommy?"
Since Trenton works in the DTC, we figured we'd just meet him up there, so we reserved a room at the Denver Tech Embassy Suites. We had a little time before he finished up with work, so I took the cuties to IKEA, where they enjoyed playing in the child area, while I relished some shopping in kid-free bliss. Once my hour of freedom was up, we cozied up on a couch and enjoyed some lunch. How many stores do you know that have leather seating in their cafeteria? Emma and Ben were so excited to be having lunch on real china with glass cups! See? I told you- they get excited about little stuff.
We also spent some time at our favorite mall in Denver, had a fun and restful night at the Embassy Suites, and enjoyed an afternoon with Tad and Linsey at the Museum of Natural History.
