Baby Moon

While the Dawson's were in town we decided to have a Baby Moon before #2 entered out lives. We left Elizabeth at Nana's house over night and had a wonderful date (July 17-18).  We decided to do somethings that we wouldn't usually do, which was limited because I was pregnant, and we had so much fun.

We started the date off with miniature golf and milk shakes (it was super hot).  The miniature golf place was awesome and had fun themed courses; we opted for the haunted course.  We had heard that the balance and weight distribution of pregnancy makes women better at golf and we proved it correct.  I BEAT BEN; this is a first for me and I wont deny that I rubbed it in a little bit. 

 

 

 

After miniature golf we went into Denver to the Adams Mystery Playhouse for a mystery dinner.  It was a cruise theme, so we were all to wear cruise attire, and the whole place (which usually looks scary, like a haunted house) was decorated in cruise-ish stuff.  We were a little hesitant that it was going to be a lame experience but we were happily proved wrong.

It started with cocktails and guest mingling, at which time they had clues throughout the house to give the guests a better guess at the ending.  We then went into the dining hall where we played bingo, very cruise-ish, and had a delicious dinner.  After this the show began with a little music performed by the cruise musician who later was murdered! They then tried to figure out who did it through performances, dating game shows, conga lines and so much more.  The actors were so funny and the whole night was filled with laughing (almost to tears), audience participation and murder! We had so much fun and loved it.

We were planning on going to a hotel for the night but decided to save the money and go home, without a child. We snuggled in with junk food and a movie and both quickly fell asleep.  The next morning we slept in until 8, Elizabeth has ruined our college lifestyles, and then went out to breakfast. We went to Snooze, a fancy breakfast place in Boulder, and then walked around Pearl Street.  It was so laid back and fun to just be together.  But I have to admit it was weird not having Elizabeth and we were glad when she came home!
