book of mormon, august 25 2012

i want to start by saying i enjoyed being downtown today... a lot. i feel like i am rarely down there, and i seem to forget how gorgeous it is... how clean it is... how beautiful the old buildings are. to me, there is something really magical about a downtown that has the old, charming, and awesome buildings.

we started the day at the curtis hotel restaurant called the corner office. it was exquisitly decorated, and had this very cool, modern style. i loved it. the hues of cool blues and sassy greens intrigued my eye at every corner, and i enjoyed my surroundings about as much as i did the company and conversation.

the menu was filled with a variety of breakfast foods... all totally posh in both their flavors and their presentation. the french toast was my absolute favorite and if you ever find yourself with an opportunity to go visit the corner office, give it a try. you will not regret it.

here we are happy, and excited to begin our fun-filled day in denver. (i really wish i had taken more pictures of this place to share... whoops.)

the curtis hotel is directly across from the denver performing arts center, and as i stepped outside the view just kind of captured my heart a little. it was an absolutely gorgeous day, and i just knew that the show would be fabulous. i was so excited in fact, i realize now that i managed to document just about each and every moment. :)

 

 

so the show was... too die for. like... amazing. so, so, so funny. and not in a whitty, clever sort of way either. in an, in-your-face-hilarious sort of way. there was no denying or missing this humor. it was fabulously inappropriate at times, heart warming at times... hilarious the whole way through. i knew for sure i would enjoy it, but had no idea what type of hilarity was waiting for me. i guess i had kind of expected it to sort of mock the mormon religion, and i am happy to report that it really didn't. im sure most mormons would find themselves horrified throughout the show for other reasons, but not because they felt personally mocked... just my thoughts i guess. so after literally laughing so hard my face hurt, i decided to do some exploring outside. i just thought the building was so, so pretty. i love to think about all of the amazing moments that must have taken place here... the history is just kind of magical to me.

experiences like today aren't the kind you get to have every day. the musical itself was seriously so, so, so funny. not for the faint of heart, but certainly for the open minded, looking-to-have-a-good-laugh kinda folk. :) the architecture of the performing arts center was beautiful, and it was all around just a really wonderful time. i love making memories like this.

oh and lastly? a giant shout out to my brother and sister-in-law for coordinating such a fun time. we LOVED it!

ps- isn't she the cutest pregnant girl on the planet? like... ever?? i CANT WAIT for my nephew to get here!!!!!!
