Good morning from lovely Colorado!
We left early yesterday morning….with 11 suitcases packed in the back of the mini {van not cooper}…and drove straight through. A stop in Iowa for some gas….a stop in Lincoln, Nebraska for some lunch…then finished the trip into Colorado last night. On tap today is to meet up with some old friends….then dinner at one of our favorite Thai places tonight before we head up the mountain to Vail where we will spend the next few days. My parents will bring the kids to us tomorrow….and they are having a blast in New Mexico.
Anyhoo……
as we were on the road yesterday…i was able to edit some of the photos from our Mad Men party Saturday night. With a little bit of money and a whole lot of creativity….we were able to pull off one of the best parties we’ve had.
Our best friends were all there…and the best part was…everyone came ready for a night of cocktails….smoking…and dressed for a late 50′s …early 60′s…night.
All the ladies rocked the house……
and looked gorgeous. The men….well….
they were hot.
Since we had no furniture at our house…my friend Shannon and her husband Chris hosted the party at their home…which is amazing. Just the place to have a party like this.
All the ladies got creative with their hair……
and everyone brought a dish from their grandmothers cookbook. We dined on meatloaf…..tuna casserole…..meatballs…….waldorf and classic caesar salads than finishing with some pistachio cake.
This was a party that there was no need to sneak around to smoke if one so desired…..and i know that smoking causes lung cancer…yup…i know.
I would have made a great secretary…..
i even showed bryan my mad typing skills that night.
He was impressed….
What a great night…..
Don and Betty Draper would have been proud.
….
you all look smokin’. safe travels.
