Ellaine and I have never prided ourselves with being trendy people. We will claim being adventurous, but not trendy. As it turns out, we found a very hip place and our friends gave us kudos on what a neat location we settled on... one that happened to be new and different for all nine of us.The Recess Beer Garden is smack dab in the middle LoHi, a recently gentrified neighborhood just outside of Denver proper. As the name would imply, it has a good selection of beer and a wide open area to enjoy it in. Ellaine and I showed up first and snagged a table for us all to sit at. Together we indulged in people watching and enjoyed the hipsters, 20-somethings with way too much makeup on, puppies (there were three of them there), and new couples at the outdoor countertops feeling each other out for the first time.
Shortly thereafter, we were soon joined by Chris and Holly, Dave (Chris's brother), Joel and Sarah, and Andy and Chelsea. I was fortunate to have Chris, Joel, and Andy stand by my side when I married Ellaine last August. We enjoyed our beers, while our ladies opted for Mini Bota Boxes of wine. Our stories flowed as easily as the beer; it was as if we had never spent any time apart. An early evening shower sent us running for cover, but as quickly as it popped up, it passed on by and we were able to return to our table.
We got to hear all about the kids and status updates on where we all found ourselves in the world. It was great to see and share in everyone's happiness and joy we have all been blessed with. Ellaine and I are truly fortunate to have such wonderful people in our lives. Thank you all for coming on out and helping us explore the hot new place to be.
