We had a wonderful time together. She had never been to Denver before and it was fun showing her the Denver that I love so much.
Saturday I took her to the mountains after her short visit with her husband. We went up to Morrison and then to Red Rocks. She was amazed when she saw the huge Ampitheater which is flanked on both sides by huge red rocks. We went in the museum where we read about all of the famous people who had performed there during the summer months. It was finished in 1927.
The amitheater and stage. You can see Denver from here and is just below the horizon.
As you can see the wind was really blowing.
This is a model of the Red Rocks' Theater that was inside the museum.
Around 3:30 p.m. Saturday afternoon I drove her past all of the houses that I had lived in and then downtown to the Brown Palace Hotel and the Colorado State Capitol with its glistening gold dome.
We then went down to see the U.S. Mint and to see the house where the Unsinkable Molly Brown lived. It has an wonderful carriage house behind it which I wish I had taken a picture of, oh well!! Next time.
After that we went to Cheesman Park, Washington Park and past South High where I graduated from. Then we ate at the Saucy Noodle, my favorite place to eat in Denver. Great Italian food!! It has a sign that says, "If you don't like garlic, STAY HOME".
On Sunday between 10:45 and 11:30 we drove up to Lookout Mountain to see Buffalo Bill’s grave. There was quite a bit of snow up there and it was windy and cold. The view of Denver from Lookout Mountain is awesome. I love the Colorado mountains and it feels like home when I am in them.
It was great being with Tracy and chauffering her around. She is a lot of fun and seemed to enjoy everything we did. Thank heavens for her or I would have left more stuff there than I did. I am so absent minded that I would forget my head if it wasn't attached. Just ask Tracy.
