| Jennifer and Todd |
Jennifer (a colleague of Shawna's) and Todd (Jennifer's boyfriend) came to visit us for the weekend. They arrived in Denver on Friday night and stayed at a hotel downtown and then joined us at our house on Saturday. After giving them the tour of the house and unloading the gazillion pieces of luggage that Jennifer had, we went over to
Tap and Dough near our house for lunch where we had salad and beer. We then went to see the Chihuly Exhibit at the
Botanic Gardens. Keith and Shawna had seen the exhibit on opening night so was cool to see it with less people around.

On Saturday evening, we had dinner at
Linger where we shared a number of yummy dishes after having a few drinks at the outside bar. After dinner, we attempted to get
Little Man ice cream but the line was crazy long so we opted to get a few more beers at
The Ale House. By this time, the line died down somewhat so we went back for ice cream. Quite full at this point, we returned home to crash for the evening.

On Sunday, we went for a walk in the park and then drove up to Boulder to the
Avery Brewing Company for the release of the Rumpkin beer. Shawna stuck to wheat beer (which Keith sipped as well) while Jennifer and Todd tried all of the beers they had on tap. We then drove to Longmont and grabbed a late lunch at
Oskar Blues, followed by a visit to the
Oskar Blues Brewery where we tasted more beer. This brewery was pretty cool with large tables both in and outside with large garage doors that opened to the outside. There was also a bluegrass band playing which was quite good. We returned home and just relaxed for the evening, snacking on tomato salad and hummus with pita (we were quite full from the day) and watching TV.

Jenn and Todd left for Vail on Monday morning where they were going to spend a few nights in the mountains. It was great to have them over and fun to venture out to breweries we had not yet been to!
