My wife and I have been thinking of taking an eating vacation. Now, that’s not some fancy way of saying “diet”, it literally means that we’d like to pick a region and eat our way through it. Can you imagine a better way to spend a vacation? Sure, skiing would be nice, or sunning on the beach, but let’s just cut right to it: we all love to go out and eat some good food and have a nice bottle of wine.

Last week my wife and I celebrated her birthday by getting a babysitter, a limo, some friends, and heading to Mizuna. If you haven’t been there yet then you should stop reading this blog and just run there right now.

The evening starting out in the usual fashion (you real estate pros know what I mean) in that I had to talk to a friend about throwing his house into the Denver home for sale arena. But as soon as the appetizers came the Denver real estate talk stopped (thank God), and the enjoyment began.

Bless the chef at Mizuna who thought to create a dish combining Lobster and Macaroni. I kid you not: Lobster Mac n’ Cheese. It was ridiculous. I think I dreamed about it later that night.

It’s such a blessing living a few minutes from a great city like Denver. We can head out to see Carlos Mencia at the Buell Theatre, stop off at Sushi Den for some late night sushi, or walk down to Rioja for some lively Spanish cuisine, and then spend the next day mountain biking or hiking in the foothills. And it’s all within a few minutes of or front door.

I just can’t imagine living in another part of the world. I’ve spent years in Manhattan and San Francisco, and I’ll take this Front Range region of Colorado any day.
