Tidbits

~I am officially a Witter now. It only took 5 months for me to get my name changed, but better late than never, right??
~It’s hard to get back into running after taking a break. I kick myself for knowing how high my endurance was when I stopped and seeing where it is now. I am signed up for the Rock ‘n Roll half in October, so it’s good motivation to keep pushing along.
~I’m amazed at how rude/inconsiderate people can be.
~You get so many more bathroom breaks during the day when you actually drink 64oz of water!
~If you have a blog, it’s fun to go back and read it from the very beginning. It’s fun to see all the happenings that you’ve already forgotten about!
~Nail polish from Claire’s is not worth the money, even if it is on clearance! It chipped so fast!!
~Starbucks is starting to sell “Starbucks Petites.” They’re just like my cakeballs!!
~Ben and I stopped by the Deals on Wheels sale at Bicycle Village this last weekend. I am SO glad I don’t have to work those big sales anymore!
~I think it should be mandatory for all restaurants to provide nutrition information

Night on the Town

Saturday night Ben and I dressed up and headed downtown for a night out. We went to Sullivan’s Steakhouse for our second restaurant week restaurant. I was so proud of myself because I found a $50 gift card for only $25 through denverperks.com. So we really got a heck of a deal! If you’ve never been to Sullivan’s, I highly recommend it. It’s your classic steakhouse, but the food is delicious! They have live jazz music playing in their bar area and you can hear it throughout the restaurant. You can check out their 5280 menu here.
After dinner we headed over to Trios. We haven’t been there in awhile and it was so much fun to go and enjoy a glass of wine together. I love this place!

Date Night at Vesta

It’s one of my favorite times of the year around Denver. It’s Restaurant week!!!! I love scoping out the restaurant list and checking out all the different menu options and trying new places. Last night Ben and I went to Vesta Dipping Grill. Neither one of us had been there before, but had heard good things about it. It was a great little find! The food was tasty and the atmosphere was awesome!
The concept of Vesta is pretty unique. With your appetizers and entrees, they serve different sauces on the side. Each dish comes with 3 different sauces and you can pick from sweet, savory, or spicy, or the chef has recommendations for you as well. I’m not much of a sauce or condiment person, but I actually really enjoyed it!! The different sauces really brought out the different food flavors. With their 5280 menu they also offered a wine pairing menu. They paired each course with a half glass of wine. I do love me some wine so it was an added bonus! You can check out Vesta's 5280 menu here. It definitely made for a great date night!

The sign from the street

The inside of the restaurant. I loved the curved booths, the exposed brick walls, and I think the lights look like fire
