The Orange circle on the right is our hotel and straight ahead the Performing Arts Complex.
One of the views from our hotel window. There is Invesco which means our house is just up the road behind it. Having the mountain view was nice and surprisingly it didn't cost extra.
Me in the hotel room. Notice the yellow Bug on the table, it was our alarm clock and the picture on the wall is a little boy shooting a lazer guy circ the 1950's.
One of the signs in the hallway pointing towards our room.
Just after getting back from the show. Thank goodness for self timer, but boo to Jesse making us re-take the photo 10 times. This is probably the worst one of the bunch if you ask me, but he deleted all the rest, so this is what we're stuck with no smile from him and a fake one from me.
Jesse's birthday present to me was a night out and tickets to see CHICAGO @ the Buell Theater downtown. We stayed in a funky downtown hotel that has themed floors. Our floor was 13 the Da da Dummm.... Scary floor. The walls were decorated with old horror movie posters and pictures of black cats. The elevator would quote scary movie lines as it let you off on that floor. The other floors included science fiction, romance, girl talk, and many more. We had a great view of our surroundings and the mountains. The package included free valet for our lovely beast of a car. Thank goodness the car didn't fall apart when the valet was driving it. We also had dinner in the restaurant downstairs called The Corner Office. We had shrimp spring rolls, pita and hummus, teriyaki salmon and orange chicken, delish! Then for dessert I had a frozen almond joy (which pretty much tastes just like it sounds with ice cream on top) and he had a brownie sundae. Our hotel was right across the street from the Denver Performing Arts Complex, so convienent. The show went by fast... too fast if you ask me, but I really enjoyed it. Jesse was so full from dinner and comfortable in our seats that he began to doze off before the show started. The band, the singing, the clapping, and the guy behind us laughing woke him right up. The next morning we woke up early and walked over to one of our favorite little downtown cafe for an early bird breakfast special. Jesse decided not to take the day off, so that means he dropped me off at home and headed to work. It was a lovely birthday gift and I enjoyed every minute of it.
