After leaving our pretty place in Taos, we were going back to the big city – Denver! We were staying right downtown so we definitely had a fun change of pace.

We had ideas of things we wanted to see in Denver, first up, a Rockies baseball game at Coors Field with our nephew Matt and his daughter Dylan. I think we talked as much as watched the game, but it was very nice to catch up with them! Before the game, we walked over to a baseball museum that had cool memorabilia from past stadiums and teams.

The next day we went to Red Rocks Amphitheater, a very picturesque venue we had heard about but had never seen, another transportation museum, and of course another Capitol building! You didn’t think we’d stay in a capital city, and not go to the Capitol, right? Transportation has definitely been a common theme on the trip, old cars are pretty fun to look at. It always strikes me as amazing (like air flight and airplanes) that after the concept gets invented, and it works, it doesn’t take long for people to figure out how to make them more useful, safe, and comfortable.

We rounded out the day with a trip to Costco for more snacks, vitamins, and wine. We did not take pictures of this glorious trip, but I decided to document the behind the scenes activity. And we hadn’t been to Costco since Hawaii, but that does NOT mean that we hadn’t bought wine since Hawaii. 😉
