Cheryl Visit - July 2012

Keith's friend Cheryl from City Club of Washington days came to visit us the weekend before a convention she was attending.  Keith picked her up at the airport on Saturday morning and headed back to the house, where Shawna had prepared a fantastic salad for lunch.  Since Keith had a work picnic that afternoon, he had a nap while Shawna and Cheryl went to the Botanic Gardens as well as shopping in Cherry Creek.  Keith returned home from the picnic to find Shawna and Cheryl relaxing on the porch with Gin Dandys - what a life!  After a couple of drinks, we headed out to Root Down, which is now one of Shawna's favorite restaurants in town. 

On Sunday we headed out early and hiked the trail around Red Rocks starting at Matthews/Winters park.  The hike is about 2.5 hours.  We then had lunch at Beso de Arte, a cute Latin restaurant in Morrison.  That afternoon, we relaxed at home until Keith took Cheryl to her hotel in downtown Denver and then Keith went to the airport to fly out to Vegas for a conference.
