Little Bites - Big Day! And lots of drinks!

Dixon's Downtown Grill
16th & Wazee
Attendees: Lara, Katie, Ang and Jenny

I got to Dixon's at 8am on January 20, 2009! I knew it was going to be a Big Day! A day I'll never forget! Though parts of it are hazy due to the drinks! I got us a great round booth looking at the TVs over the bar. It was perfect!

Now, I didn't start drinking until 9am when the gals showed up. We started with Bloody Mary's! They were sooooo yummy! Now things started happenin'! We watched all the festivities and toasted often! Second round, not quite as yummy, but they still worked. We ordered the food during the inauguration prayer. Not sure if that is Kosher, but we were hungry! The food was yummy! I remember the hash browns and bacon were crispy (very important). The eggs tasted like eggs; I'm not a huge fan of eggs.

Now the after breakfast drinks:
I remember some Giggle Juice (mimosas), maybe some more Bloody's for some of the gals, and I think Katie had a fancy shot of some sort. It was a wonderful, memorable time! I think I cried a little. I felt pride, relief, joy, hope and giggles! The crowd was loving the moment too! Lots of hootin' and hollerin', clapping, waving good bye to the Bushes, and other signs of glee! That was the second time I had been to Dixon's for brunch, the first being New Years Day. I think Dixon's is a nice place to have brunch. I have never had to wait, the food is good, not great, but good. I've always had great service!

Next Stop: The Pour House
1435 Market St.
Now we are feeling good! Celebrating! We found ourselves at The Pour House, hoping the roof top was open. It was such a beautiful day, in so many ways, we wanted to enjoy it all! The sign said it was open, it was not! So we grabbed a table and switched to beers. Not sure how many during this time, but enough. We had a nice waitress, though she was the only on in there and was quite busy. Some time during our visit we were joined by Pete. This is when the shots appeared. Something yummy....sweet??? Not sure what!

Next Stop: Red Square
1512 Larimer St. #38R

Our final stop! I had a yummy fruity drink suggested by Katie. Don't remember the name of it, but it wasn't too fruity, just right. There might have been some more drinks. Jenny and Ang took the light rail home. Katie, Pete and I had a very meaningful and heavy conversation! I'm sure no one could understand it but us! This is where I departed. My wonderful husband picked me up, took me to Good Times and took me home, where I needed to be. I promptly feel asleep on the couch. This was the best inauguration day I have had, and probably will ever have! :)
