Downtown Arvada and A Craft Fair

 Arvada, CO

It's Fall!

Downtown Arvada for Brunch

This morning we drove to Arvada and picked up our friend Gene and headed to Downtown Arvada for brunch.  We could have taken the train from Downtown Denver to Downtown Arvada easily but we had some other stops to make so we drove.  We hope to do a train ride and visit a bar or two soon.  There is even pinball in Downtown Arvada.

Go Skating!

We put our name in at Bread Winners and then took a walk.

This bar looked pretty cool.  They were setting up for the CU game today.

Dinosaurs outside the toy shop.

As you get closer to the center (or centre for my Canadian readers) of Downtown, the streets are closed to traffic and painted colorfully (or colourfully for my Canadian readers) to invite you to walk out in "the street". 

More signs of fall

We had to make sure the pastry shop wasn't a better choice than Bread Winners.  It's wasn't in our opinion.

We ate on the covered enclosed patio so dogs were allowed.  This little guy wanted a hand out.

Brunch was good.  After brunch we headed back to the car for our next 2 stops.

Getting Crafty

Our first stop was The Craft Box.  I didn't take any photos because it was small.  Donna and Gene both found some yarn they needed and then we headed to the craft fair.

The Craft Fair was in the parking lot of a college.

There were lots of venders selling their work.

Donna bought a nice pin from this artist.

Send it!

We spent the rest of the day back at the Airbnb hanging out with Francis.  If you missed The Colorado Pinball Pub, check it out.  We played pinball in Littleton, CO.
