Colorado

On Sunday we left Utah and passed through Wyoming and spent the night....don't have much to say about that route..... desert, no trees.


Arrived in Colorado on Monday to visit with our niece Susan and husband....can't think of his real name. LOL Oh, yea...Scott! We enjoyed seeing their lovely home in Westminster, a suburb of Denver. Susan served us a delicious dinner; she takes after her mother, Peggy. We watched DWTS on their giant TV.

Now in Golden, a gem of a charming, historic town. We are camped on the banks of Clear Creek, which runs through the town. The creek is very full, running fast. Love it! A half-mile walking path along the creek takes us to downtown. Susan & Scott joined us for a stroll and lunch. Golden has many bronze sculptures all over town, so delightful. Our favorite is a life-size string quartet.

Today we visited the Golden History Museum  which includes two museums and Clear Creek History Park, a recreation of an early Colorado village. 

I enjoyed the Foothills Art Center housed in a  unique 1872 Gothic Church. It is worth a visit to their website.    foothillsartcenter.org 
Jack waited in the sculture garden while I browsed. The Coors Brewery tours were closed today so we missed the free beer! Visiting Golden has been one of the highlights of our trip.
