Visit Denver: Magill's Ice Cream

One of our ice cream stops in Colorado, which turned out to be a family fave, is Magill's Ice Cream.

All their ice cream is made in-house using Colorado dairy, and they have a large number of flavors to choose from!

Elk Tracks

Chocolate Banana OREO

Superman

Caramel Brownie Fudge Swirl

Salted Caramel OREO

The ice cream was some of the best ever!

And the servings are enormous - we all got single scoops!!

I got Elk Tracks - vanilla ice cream with chocolate-covered peanuts and fudge.  YUM!

The Superman was a mixture of blue raspberry, cherry, and French vanilla flavors.

Magill's is definitely one of the ice cream shops we've been to!

Visit Denver: Residence Inn Denver Southwest / Lakewood

Our family loves Residence Inn by Marriott properties.  The large suites, complimentary hot breakfast, and Residence Inn Mix are just a few of the reasons why we often seek out a Residence Inn whenever we travel, and while in Denver, we stayed at the Residence Inn Denver Southwest / Lakewood.

Located just 10 miles southwest of Downtown Denver with easy access to Highway 285, the pet-friendly, 102-suite hotel offers guests the comfort and convenience of a "home away from home."

Our family of five stayed in a 2-Bedroom Suite, which gave us ample room to eat, sleep, and relax.

In the suite is a full kitchen, a dining table, a living room with a sofa bed, two separate bedrooms each with a bathroom, and even a fireplace!

There were 3 TVs, a large work desk, and plenty of charging stations for our tech.

Every morning we'd find a seat in the Residence Inn Denver Southwest / Lakewood's recently-refreshed, multi-functional community space, where we'd indulge in eggs, meats, cereals, yogurts, fruits, and waffles.

I think it's really great that the Residence Inn provides all sorts of toppings and ingredients so you can really customize your breakfast.

Top your waffle with chocolate chips and Nutella; make an egg and sausage English muffin sandwich; stir in brown sugar and coconut in your oatmeal - the possibilities are endless!

On select evenings, guests can enjoy complimentary sips and bites during the Residence Inn Mix.

On property is a small fitness center, a basketball court, and an indoor pool.

The Residence Inn Denver Southwest / Lakewood also offers free Wi-Fi, free parking, and an outdoor picnic / BBQ area.

The Residence Inn Denver Southwest / Lakewood was ideal for our family's stay in Denver!
