Limo and Lights

This past Friday night we started a new Christmas tradition with our friends.  It all started with a daily deal email about a holiday lights tour on a bus.  The emails started going back and forth between the gang and before I even knew what happened, Cook had booked us a private limo for an evening, and I was calling to see if Ms. Barb could babysit.  I'm still not sure how all of this came together, but I'm glad it did.  Max and I had such a fun night out on the town!

We started the evening out with dinner reservations at Jax Fish House downtown.  This place has the best happy hour and seafood in town.  

I think we ordered about one of everything on the happy hour appetizers menu.  Scallops, calamari, crab egg rolls, gumbo...it was all so delicious!

I also love the decor in this restaurant.  I really want a chandelier similar to this in our dining room.  

I love the little lobster bibs and crackers that they gave us all before the main course.  So fun!

The main course...lobster, shrimp, Alaskan king crab legs, and oysters.  It was all AMAZING! 

We had to play around a little bit with the bibs and the crackers.  

Jerad was so excited to eat lobster. 

After some incredible seafood and enough prosecco to give us the giggles it was on to the main event! We had to walk to our Escalade stretch limo at Union Station to begin our tour of lights.   

I love the way that Union Station is decorated for Christmas.  Why do Christmas lights make everything better? 

Cook talking to our driver.  Fun fact...Cook knew exactly where he wanted the driver to take us to tour lights.  He has all of the best houses addresses in Denver saved to his iphone..HAHAHA! :)

It was definitely a party on wheels!


















This is definitely a holiday tradition that I hope goes on for years!
