Day 211 - Snooze

We are driving to Breckenridge this afternoon, but first we spent a nice morning (and early afternoon) in Denver. After sleeping in a bit and reloading the car we set out for brunch at a great local restaurant called Snooze (Thanks to Ellen & Bob for the recommendation). We got there just past 10 and had to wait about 45 minutes for a table, but took that as a good sign! And we sat outside as we waited and enjoyed the gorgeous weather.

Once inside the decor made me smile, it was retro, but clean and new and everyone working & dinning all just seemed so happy (great first impression)

The menu had a nice selection and since we were on vacation I decided to order the pancake flight (3 flavors of pancakes of your choice).

I went with blueberry, the 'cinnfull' (it came with white chocolate chips, drizzled with homemade Bacon Caramel, vanilla cream sauce, pecans and topped with cinnamon butter) and the pineapple upside down pancakes. They were all so good, but the blueberry was my favorite (I came so close to finishing all 3!)

We thought we were being a little healthier with Quinn's order of Huevos Rancheros, but it was huge (and so good) and because the table next to us had the potato cake (and it looked too yummy to pass up) we added one of those and some sausage on the side too.

Everything was delicious! Plus Snooze takes extra measure for sustainability and organic & local foods - bonus!

I have to say, this vacation is off to a fabulous start!

Other Firsts: On our way to Breckenridge, we took a small change of route to go over Loveland Pass.

Every other time we have been to Breckenridge (or any peak in Colorado) has been in the winter, when tunnels seem like much better choices than driving over mountains without guardrails . . . but today the weather was gorgeous and the scenery was breathtaking.

Amazing!
