Visit with Mum

On Sunday afternoon me Mum came to visit :)    She arrived just towards the end of the Eagles game (ugh, those Eagles!!) so Christian and I watched the game in Stapleton where I work so we would be closer to the airport.  I went and grabbed my mom and brought her back to the bar just in time to see end of that wonderful game.  After the game we came home and relaxed a bit and got ready for dinner.  We had dinner at Olivea which is about a 10 minute walk from out house.

 

 

We started off with some yummy Sangria.

Christian had:

grilled skirt steak, romesco, agro dolce onions and crispy potatoes

 

Maura had:

house made agnolotti: three sided sweet corn stuffed pasta finished with mint and parmesan

I ordered salmon but they were out :(  So I got:

tagliatelle pasta, braised rabbit, exotic
mushrooms and toasted hazelnuts

 Overall it was really good- Maura's was the best!

The next morning poor Christian had to go to work :(  I ended up having off the whole time my mom was here because my client went to Boston to meet his new cousin.  So my mom and I headed to Boulder.   We started off with breakfast at The Buff, then walked around South Pearl street.  I had never been there but it was VERY cute!!  I didn't really get good pictures bu there were lots of shops!

 

The Wenger Shop... for some reason I have several pics from here...

Wall of knives...

Biggest pocket knife EVER

On the way home we randomly stopped at a pumpkin patch.

Here is Maura using her little saw to cut a pumpkin off the vine

Later Monday night we had drinks on South Pearl Street near Wash Park and dinner at the Village Cork.  Dinner was fun- let's just say it was quite the people watching crowd at dinner!!
