denver day 1

Vacation part 2. Seems all my vacations this year involve mountain ranges. However, this mountain range can't be compared. So strange to see mountains with snow on them when its in the 90's in Denver.
We are definitely experiencing better temps here than home, warm yet no humidity. We arrived early and spent the afternoon at the Botanical gardens in Denver, which were worth the time. Not really into plants and flowers, but this was over the top. We then headed over to the Denver Public Library to drool over what a library really should be. 7 floors. Their movie and music room was larger than our Annapolis library alone.
We headed back to Sean and Laura's house..its a charming Victorian dating back to the late 1800's. It is beautifully decorated-bright colors, lots of rooms, in a eclectic community of S and M shops, weaving stores, bars that have 7 AM happy hours,movie theaters from the 30's, and a great selection of restaurants. We had a fabulous Thai dinner last eve-best I think I've had. Crashed early...time change and thinner air. Today is Colorado Springs.
