Lounged in bed until about 8:30am and then slowly managed to
get ourselves ready. Today the weather forecast was guesstimating we would
receive up to 8” of snow today here in Denver. Knowing that Anna and I decided
to stay downtown and not push our luck on the roads. This is very unusual
weather for this time of year and we have been told that the temperature
records have been shattered here and around the area.
The bellhop recommended we should go to eat at Snooze at Union
Station. He also mentioned we better go early. Fair enough we said. Off we went
to 16th street to grab a bus and headed up to Union Station. A
beautiful building and definitely a center point for the city. Upon entering the
station, Anna softly poked me and said, “Look over there, it’s Jim Belushi.”. I
quickly had a rush of movies with him in it speed through my brain. I would
have loved to have gotten a photo of Anna and Belushi, but want to respect his
privacy.
Found Snooze and was told there would be a 3 – yes I said
THREE – hour wait. Nope. I don’t care how great the food is, there is no place
worth 3 hours. We left the station and went into the Thirsty Lion. After
changing tables just 3 times we got seated in the perfect spot. What a great
time to spend with my wife and such an enjoyable breakfast. Anna got an Avacado
toast and I got a Spicy Chicken and Waffles. I did not try the toast, but the
waffles were the bomb. We hung around and had several beers, while Anna has a
Mimosa.
Walked around a bit and then hopped back on the train and headed
back to the hotel. Took a break for a bit while Anna took nap. Got motivated
again and headed back out around 4:30pm to grab a bite to eat at West of
Surrender. I feel like we have been on a culinary tour since we got here. I
will need a major two-week fasting when we get home.
Enjoyed the evening walking the town and taking in the snow.
Bed and asleep by 9pm.
