High Tea

A couple weeks ago, I drove down to Denver to meet my mom and some friends.

I drove to my parents' home where I enjoyed some coffee and the company of my mom and dad.

Then my mom and I ditched my dad and went on to pick up Penny (we were celebrating her birthday), Gina and Penny's daughter-in-law Lola. We drove over to the Brown Palace. As soon as we got to the door, Lola recognized the doorman (not sure if that is his official job or title, but that is the best I can do). She talked with him a bit as we headed inside because it was COLD...not as cold as it is right now, but it still was nice to get inside. The hotel is beautiful!

We were there for the Afternoon High Tea! We each got to pick the tea we wanted and got our own little teapot (mom got coffee), then the food started coming. We got chocolate sea salt truffles, scones, tea sandwiches and all sorts of desserts. Gina and I also had a Prosecco Bellini, Lola got the Kir Royale...we even got seconds. Whenever we started to get low on food, or hot water for our tea they brought more. It was a great time to hang out with the girls and everyone at the Brown Palace was wonderful!

Here is the our group:

We even got to see the Eisenhower Suite (because of Lola's connections)!
