Discovering Denver

After a full day at the Powwow, we decided to take the next day to explore and site see Denver. Despite the icy conditions,  I did the best I could to take pictures while driving.  I hope that my words will suffice as the architecture was beautiful amongst the busy street trains and tourist on foot.  the bottom two pictures are my favorites.  The ocean-blue building with jagged edges was simply breathtaking.  While I'm not sure what the two large white statues story is, I had to smile as my mind thought of the white giants dancing in the snow amongst a city of busy little people.

Our first stop was the Denver Aquarium.  A large indoor dome filled with different types of fish, flash flood warnings, fossils, mermaids, jelly fish, tigers, shark and stingray petting, jungles, and walls filled with stories and facts galore!  It took us two hours to get through and there was still more attractions we didn't get to because they were  outside.  If you ever get the chance to visit, you should check out their website: http://www.aquariumrestaurants.com/downtownaquariumdenver/

 By the time we were done walking the Aquarium, we were famished!  So, we headed to the Hard Rock Cafe.  It was noisy with good food and some pretty cool autographed memorabilia on the walls.  There was a quick stop at a hokey little Colorado store as flurries began swirling around us.  We thought we should get a move on and headed back to the hotel for naps.

After naps, some of us stayed up and watched Walking Dead while the other group stayed up and watched the Bible.  We then realized it was 10:00 and needed to eat some dinner!  So, as with all great trips, there was a late night food run.
