Travel Tuesday: Colorado

Alex and I went on a vacation to Colorado a week ago to visit some friends and to re-charge for the new year. One of my very dear friends whom I met in Spain lives in Denver and brought us to literally every cool place there is to go. What I loved about Denver was that it was an extremely crafted city. From their food, beer, cocktails or boutique stores, everything was handled with such great care and pride. Sorry about the plethora of photos, I couldn't help myself. Here are a few key places to check out while there:

1. Resturants: Linger-my favorite, Le Central-delicious and authentic French food, Benny's-Mexican food with Green Chile sauce to die for, Euclid Hall-this was Alex's favorite, and last but not least-VooDoo Doughnut.

2. Coffee Shops: Kaladi Coffee, Leela

3. Places to visit: Glenwood Hot Springs, Denver Art Museum-Passport to Paris-this was one of my favorite activities we did, Garden of the Gods-this was too gorgeous to explain in words & Willams & Graham- a speakeasy with some awesome crafted cocktails.

 Beautiful Mountains everywhere 
4. Shopping: Downtown Denver was full of boutique stores, specialty stores, vintage stores & book stores. I personally fell in love with Buffalo Exchange, a consignment shop with some really great finds. Besides that I could have spent hours in a used bookstore downtown Denver.
It was so lovely seeing my friends who live so far away! Thanks Maddie for driving us everywhere and showing all the cool places to go, thank you mother nature for cancelling Chloe's flight so I could selfishly spend two more days with her, and thank you Stacie and Allen for your generous hospitality. Alex and I are truly blessed with some awesome people in our lives.

What are your favorite places to check out in Colorado?
