Weekender

WOO HOO, WEEKEND!!! It is crisp and sunny and wonderfully Autumnal outside, Dealers. The weather this weekend is just begging you (and me) to get outside and enjoy the season. I know I am grabbing a little brunch tomorrow at Flower Wraps, home of the magical $5.00 Mimosa; and that The Hub and I are breaking in our copy of Quantum of Solace sometime over the weekend.
What fabulous, fun-filled options are there for this beautiful weekend?

10/2 - It is First Friday in Denver's various art districts - the perfect opportunity to acquaint yourself with a new neighborhood while exploring galleries and shops and discovering or revisiting the artists they feature. Pick a new 'hood each First Friday:
Golden Triangle Museum District
Tennyson Street Cultural District
River North Art District
ArtDistrict On Santa Fe
Cherry Creek North
Belmar

10/3-10/4 - Speaking of family fun, it is Lakewood's 34th annual Cider Days Celebration this weekend in Belmar Park! There is a small admission cost for this one, ($6.00 for adults, $4.00 for the kiddos) but it is always a local fave. A rundown of events and activities can be found here.
