Immediately following church we ironically stopped at a little cafe on Gaylord Street called Devil’s Food for breakfast. While we waited for a table we strolled down the street and visited a few local shops. Our first stop was a small boutique named Pome. Each nook and cranny of this long, narrow shop was filled with unique gifts like colorful, vintage aprons and bath salts in the form of cupcakes.
Later that afternoon we headed to the famous Casa Bonita in Lakewood. Best described as a wacked out Mexican Disneyland, this themed restaurant seats over 1,000 people in their 52,000 square foot palace and boasts live entertainment like a mariachi band, cowboy shootouts, gorillas, puppet shows, and a thirty foot water fall complete with cliff divers.
Over the past few years, Denver has been the midpoint of many of my vacations. I’ve had several layovers in Denver but never stepped foot outside the airport until last weekend. Keenan and I decided to take a short weekend trip to Denver to visit his sister, Stephanie, and finally check out the city.
