All the pretty ladies

Back in October, my mom called with a tempting proposition.  Would I like to meet her and my aunt and my cousin for a girl's weekend in Denver in January?  Well, heck yes, of-course I would!

I remember family vacations as a kid and it was always the WHOLE family-- Dad, Mom, Scott, Gayle, Craig.  And since there were boys on the trip, we usually had to do some boy things like go to baseball games or eat at the ESPN zone.  Well, this was a girl's trip so we got to do girl stuff.  Like go to the art museum and the historic home of Molly Brown and go down to the hotel happy hour each night for a glass of wine and eat dinner at a gorgeous (and delicious) french restaurant.  We also went to the US Mint which I was really, really looking forward to (my inner dork needed some love) and let me just say what a disappointment that was.  At least it was free.

It was a fantastic trip and the girl time was much needed and oh so fun.  Why haven't done something like this before?

I'm sure there are families out there where no one looks alike and you can't really tell who belongs together.  Um, my family is not one of those....
What is that horse doing upon that chair?  You mean they call this art?
Moms and daughters, daughters and moms.
