Eating lunch at the
Spaghetti Factory. A great place for cheap food. We are sitting at a table
inside the cable car. |
 |
This is the United
Artists Theater in downtown Denver. It has a great layout, reminding us of a theater
in London, where each row is elevated 3 feet above the previous one, providing an
unobstructed view of the screen. |
 |
The Hard Rock Cafe
recently opened in Denver, so we tried it out for dinner. Well, the food was not as
good as the HRC's I've been to elsewhere, and the waitress was absolutely crazy, more
interested in dancing on the table to the music than serving customers. |
 |
We stayed at the
Hyatt hotel, compliments of many HP business trips. Here Michael is enjoying the
treadmill in the exercise room.. |
 |
The famous Denver
Mint, one of two places in the U.S. where coins are made. We took a tour inside, but
they don't allow pictures. |
 |
A visit to the
Denver Zoo. Here is a gorilla between Linda & Sara.. |
 |
An elephant between
Sara and Michael. Sara likes the Zoo, but sometimes doesn't like being in a
picture.. |
 |
Shes OK with this
picture . . . a giraffe looks on in the background.. |
 |
We all compared our
height with a polar bear.. |
 |
Michael demonstrates
shear fright when being attacked by a giant snake.. |
 |
Sara demonstrates
shear desire to get out of the snakes & bugs section. |
 |
A sea lion swims and
balances at the same time. |
 |
.Michael and Sara
pose on a statue of Sara's favorite animal. |
 |
Now they observe the
real thing.. |
 |
And the real thing
gives us a look at his insides.. |
 |
Another statue.
I guess this is to emphasize that the zoo in in the West. |
 |
At the Denver
Natural History Museum, Michael learns how much better animal ears are. |
 |
Linda takes the
stress test. Even vacation can produce a high reading. |
 |
Michael's 10 year
birthday on Thursday, Thanksgiving, celebrated at The Broker Restaurant, where he wolfed
down two bowls of peeled shrimp. Our table is inside what used to be the money vault
of the old bank.. |
 |
At the Denver Art
Museum, where Michael tries some of the hands-on displays they have for children.. |
