A LOVEly Weekend

What a fun little weekend we had! Jake took me shopping on Friday night, we went up snowboarding at Keystone on Saturday, went to church on Sunday morning and then headed downtown for Sunday and Monday. I won a free night's stay at a downtown hotel a few months ago and decided to redeem it on Valentines Day weekend. Jake had Valentines Day off work, so we were able to make a two-day deal out of it all. They even upgraded our room to a King Suite with a mountain view. It was so fun! We ate some Mongolian BBQ, PinkBerry yogurt, and got a Starbucks with all the businessy people downtown. We enjoyed the people watching, which is always quality along 16th Street. We went to the Museum of Nature and Science, and then went over to my work for about an hour. I had to teach an after-school program at a downtown school, so Jake went with me and saw a piece of my Boy Scout world. It was funny. Once we got back home, I made Jake his favorite Chicken Parm. Goooood weekend. :)

By far, the funniest moment of the whole weekend happened at the museum. I was getting my resting heart beat measured and was at a steady 63 when Jake came up and started whispering in my ear about pregnancy (for those of you who don't know, I am daily nervous about the possibility). My heart rate immediately sky-rocketed to 85!!! We were laughing so hard we started to cause a scene amongst the mothers with strollers and field-trip children around us. It was hilarious.

Valentines Day Weekend Extravaganza

BD's Mongolian Grill was so good!

Delicious dinner downtown.

We played a VERY serious late-night game of checkers at the hotel.

Morning breakfast, reading the paper like the regulars.

I was trying to be stealthy with my picture taking on the bus...

.... but Jake discovered the camera.

Day at the Museum

At the museum downtown we rediscovered all the fun science experiments available. Those two faces are both Jake. 

The aging predictor was probably the most terrifying thing at the museum. Jake at 70. Eikes!!!

Nothing says "I Love You" more than a picture of what I will look like at age 70. Or even worse, at age 70 with sun damage (picture on the right). Truly frightening.

We also had fun with this thing... it sensed your brain waves and you had to control them and be calm in order to beat your opponent. The funniest time was when Jake and I were at a dead stand off of competition for several minutes. I guess we're pretty compatible. :)

In honor of Josiah Trowbridge... I guess the word fondle does have multi-uses.

Jake is a very attractive moose.

Goodbye museum.

Love love!
