There’s nothing wrong with a weeknight glass of wine with the girls. Or is it ‘whine?’ Either way, there’s no need to wait for a special occasion when places in the Denver metro area make it easy to enjoy an evening away from regular mom duties. We’ll take a warm Colorado evening and some much needed girl time with our friends anytime! Call on the sitter (or your spouse) and gather your mom squad for a girls night out at these events.
