This past Friday we stayed downtown at the Curtis hotel with the kids. Many hotels were running specials on rooms to bring people downtown for the Christmas lighting ceremonies. I remember as a kid how cool it was to stay in a hotel. Caroline got in the room and immediately ran to the window to open the curtains. Her response was "this is just amazing. It really is. " We grabbed a bite to eat and then headed over to the city/county building to get ready for them to turn on all the lights. There was music and the local news celebrities. Right before the lights came on it started snowing. I told Michael that this could not be more perfect and the timing was just right. Well, after about 15 minutes of the heavy, wet snow we were soaked! So much for perfection. We then headed to the ESPN zone to let the kids play games, a few beers, etc. The next day we hung out downtown and visit the Denver Performing Arts area and took a tour of the old Mountain Bell telephone building. The best part is that all we had to do to get home was take the light rail back to the car. Short trip to get there and short trip to get home. It was a great weekend and one I hope the kids will remember when they get older. Here are a few pictures from the weekend.
