Record 84 degrees

Yesterday in Denver it hit 84 degrees! I took full advantage.  I put on a sun dress, met a friend, and walked to lunch at a super cute and tasty sandwich shop in the Golden Triangle – Parsley.  This place should really be in Boulder – organic everything, vegetable juice, etc. – but I’m glad it’s here. 

On the way I got a shot of some street art around 1st Ave and Lincoln:

After lunch it was time for going to the Botanic Gardens with another friend.  It is still early for the gardens but things are starting to bloom.  Here are some springtime shots for your viewing pleasure:

At first I thought this was a snail on the plant below but on further inspection I decided it was not.  Not sure what it is though…

This was one of those days where it’s just nice to sit on a bench and watch the budding trees sway in the wind.

It was also the perfect night for a rooftop happy hour at Vita.  There was a slight breeze, we were in the shade, sitting at the bar, sipping on bubbly, and watching the light of the setting sun on the buildings of downtown Denver.  I tried to get a photo of me and the skyline in the background but my aim was a little off:

All of these venues were reached via bike.  I had forgotten how incredibly fun it is to ride from one side of downtown Denver to another on a bike in sandals.  Can’t wait for summer after this teaser of a day.
