Time to Get Away!!

We bought stand-by tickets from Josh's dad a year ago and we have been a little preoccupied with our lives that we have forgotten to use them. We finally got around to it and took off for the weekend to Denver with just the baby. It was so much fun to get away. Jayla got to spend a weekend with Aunt Ju-Ju and Uncle Nick, and we got a stress-free weekend, mostly!
It was mostly alot of driving around, either trying to find a place to eat or just exploring while the baby slept, but it was nice to not have to clean or deal with a temper-tantrum-throwing two-year-old.
The downer to the weekend - The week before we left Josh slide into home while playing softball and sprained his knee so bad that he had to use crutches the whole trip. Not so much fun in the airport, but at least we got to ride the cart at the airport and get special treatment.

We went to Casa Bonita restaurant while we were there. It's like the mayan, but has a much more mexican village vibe. The entertainment was great, but the food was nasty.
Sadee on her first 25 cent ride.
The injured man with a Bronco Statue. We saw this really cool looking park and pulled over to check it out. We didn't know that it was homeless central and a drug zone.
Pretty sure we witnessed a drug deal!
Yes, I am in the Fountain. The water turned off right as Josh was taking the picture, but it looked better with the water.
Love this name!!
The State Capitol...I love the affect in the sky. Can you guess what that is?
We also went to a Padres game. I know, I know, we were in Denver, but the Colorado Rockies were playing the San Diego Padres. Josh loved going to a major league baseball game, and I was happy to support my favorite team. We even got great seats because Josh had a bad knee and was milking it with the crutches. Yeah!


Take me out to the Ball Game!

Sadee loved the baseball game, can't you see the excitement on her face.

The food was not that bad, and the game was awesome, even though we left at the top of the 9th. Mainly to beat the traffic on crutches.

It was a great time to get away. i can't believe you didn't post any pics of our "Fire Drill" at the hotel.
