YES! This is the place: http://www.emiliostapas.com/index.php

We had so much fun there! My director and I took our teams out to dinner one night, and we sat there for hours eating tapas and drinking sangria. We laughed and laughed, and it was a great bonding time for all of us. Great memories of that evening. Everyone that was there wanted to come back this year. Is it sad that one of my biggest disappointments about not having Conference this year is that we can't go back to that restaurant?
 
I discovered that place Becky the first time I went to Chicago and made it a point to go back every year. I truly LOVE it and is one of the things I'll miss too. The food and wine are so fantastic, and good company only enhanced the memories for me too.
 
Laurie I guess we just have to find a new great place in Denver for food and drink :)
(And something to replace our kayak trip on the river that we didn't get to... white water rafting? LOL <--yeah right, scared to death of bouncing out and drowning) :I

We ate at an awesome place when in Denver for Leadership... hmmm.. I'll have to try and find the name. We had Koby Beef Sliders that were FANTASTIC! Great waiter didn't hurt either!
 
I have no doubt we will Melissa. White water rafting would be awesome!!! We'll place you in the middle and get that life vest securely on you!
