Girlfriends' weekend in Denver, Colorado

I took advantage of the holiday weekend to go visit my BFF Deb in Denver, Colorado. We planned this trip months ago me and my other BFF Melissa. We decided to both head out to Denver and turn this weekend into a girlfriend hang out.

Melissa, Deb and I were college roommate for years then we got an apartment off campus and lived together for many more years. Then life happened and we all moved to different parts of the countries. These girls are my BFFs and being able to hang out with them together is always such a treat.

Mel and I flew into Denver on Friday night and flew home on Monday night. I should have totally taken a day off on Tuesday, I was worn out from all the traveling. Luckily, I am off on Friday so I just have to make it through the next few days. Hubby was a single parent over the weekend and both kids were alive when I came back so that's great success (expectation is everything :)).

Well hello Denver, so nice to see you.

We spent the whole night chatting away and making plans for the next few days. It was grand, it reminded me of the days when we lived together and would stay up all night talking about boys. The next day we went to the Farmer's market in the morning and got some goodies and pumpkins

 Later that day we carved those pumpkins

I was chilling with baby #3 on the sidelines while the girls worked hard at carving the pumpkins

The final result that night, pretty cool huh? Sally looks so realistic

 Me and my girls ready for a night out on the town

 A beautiful night out walking downtown Denver

We had dinner at a really cool restaurant called Steubens. The rootbeer float were to die for

The next day we walked around downtown Denver enjoying the sun but really it was so cold, I had my winter down jacket on. Everybody else was wearing short sleeves, crazy.

 Then we had lunch in the city before going back to Deb's place where we watched lots of movies

We were trying to copy the statues in this park area, don't mind us we do bizarre things sometimes

The next day, we had brunch and hung out some more before heading to the airport

 I enjoyed a few last drinks at the airport with Melissa before heading home

I had such an awesome time with my BFFs but I was so happy to come home to my sweet boys. Check out Tman smiling away for me. He was clearly happy to see me :). I love my boys

Girlfriend weekend getaway was a great success. I know once baby #3 is here those will be far and few between if at all. I mean, I couldn't possibly leave hubby with 3 little kids by himself. I have one more ladies weekend and a trip to Canada with the boys coming up in November. After that I can rest and recuperate and prepare for baby #3's arrival. I tell you, we like to be busy around here. Hope you all had a great 3-day weekend too.
