Rachel’s Big Birthday Weekend
Taryn arranged for my cousin, Julie, and I to be available for Rachel’s birthday (my sister). Julie met me at the airport. When we got to Rachel’s house, Taryn wrapped us in ribbon and bows. He had made a cake for Rachel from scratch. It was very yummy. Caden, the youngest of Rachel’s boys, didn’t know what to think of me. He was very shy and wouldn’t come to me or talk to me. I guess he’s quite the jabber-butt.
That afternoon, we girls went shopping for five hours or so. For our evening, we hit downtown Denver to check out the nightclub scene. Sixteenth Avenue felt very safe. It was well-lit and lots of cops out and about.
The next morning, Taryn made us pancakes and eggs. I got to spend time with Calvin and Caden while Rachel took a catnap. That afternoon, Rachel and I visited the Denver Botanical Garden, had lunch at Chipotle, and stopped by 6-7 open houses. We found the perfect new home for her family.
It was a quick trip. Loved staying in their basement. It’s the perfect set up with its own bathroom, TV, bed, pool table, and fully-stocked bar. I may need to visit more often!
