Saturday Outing

Saturday is definitely my favorite day of the week. We almost always go on some sort of outing as a family. The kids get Jeff's undivided attention, and I get a much needed escape from the monotony of the week. This particular day we spent the afternoon downtown. Denver is such a cool city and I feel like we're slowly getting to know the neighborhoods and flavors of the downtown beat.

We first hit our favorite Mexican Cantina, Benny's. Mmmmm. Jeff discovered this gem through a business lunch. It has quite a large local following so it's usually pretty packed with the neighborhood hipsters and young families. The food is excellent, prices low. Good Mexican food is easy to find here, but so far this is favorite.

After lunch we hit the LoDo district and spent some time in the Tattered Cover bookstore. It's a Denver staple and for good reason. It's homey and eclectic, yet has a great selection of books and magazines. There are nooks with arm chairs, large tables to spread out a paper, cozy lamps, and an in house coffee shop. It's one of my favorite spots to hang and any place with books keeps Anna occupied for hours so its a win-win for the whole family. And, as with most city spots, the people watching is excellent.
