Weekend in Denver-- Friday 4/8

On Friday, Vanessa went off to work once again. Sarah and I decided to make a trip to the mall since neither of us has a Nordstrom nearby. I love Nordstrom! We both went a little crazy and spent way too much time at the makeup counters. The Dior ladies basically gave us makeovers. I also bought a really great spring jacket that I'm super excited to wear.

Anyway, enough about shopping... following our mall trip, we went to see Vanessa at her school and gave a brief lesson to her kids. They all speak Spanish and are English Language Learners. They taught us a few words in Spanish, I taught them the same words in French, and Sarah taught them in Arabic. It was a pretty cool little lesson and Vanessa's kids seemed excited about it!

After work, we went running of course. Thanks V for making us run even though we didn't want to! We also had a little "wine and cheese" party (just the 3 of us) with some awesome cheese from Whole Foods. A little manchego, goat cheese, another raw cheese made with goat, sheep, and cow's milk, membrillo (quince paste that is common in Spain), delicious crackers and wine of course. Following the wine and cheese we headed to Sushi Sasa for some sushi in celebration of Sarah's birthday (not until next weekend, but we hardly ever get together!). We even ordered Sake bombs to celebrate! The sushi was delish.

SUSH!

Afterwards, Sarah wanted to hit up a hookah bar. We found a place called Oasis and went with it. We had fun there, but eventually we had enough and needed some fresh air.

Lots of smoke!

And more smoke

So much smoke you can't see my face (just thumbs up!)
