Denver

Last weekend Laura's company flew us out to Denver for a end of year party.  Luckily Laura's mom and my parents were more than happy to watch Avery for a few days while we were gone.  We spent a few extra days in Denver to eat, drink, and be merry.  The weather was amazing...high 50's in January.  With the dry air it meant that during the day and in the sun jackets were not needed.  Which made it a lot more fun to get out an explore.  These are pictorial representations of those activities.

First up was the Bona party.  They fed us, plied us with booze, and setup a photo booth to black mail employees at a later date.  This is our trip through the booth.

Denver was an interesting city.  They had a ton of outdoor art because 1% of every large project's budget must go to community art.  This a 40 foot blue bear looking into the convention center right beside our hotel.

The day after the party we rented a car and headed out to Red Rocks Amphitheater   There wasn't a show going on, but they open it up as a park for people to explore.  

 This is the view from the top row of the amphitheater   On a clear gorgeous day like it was when we went out there, you can clearly see downtown Denver in the background.

 A picture of mountains.  They seemed pretty big I guess.

 This is overlooking the town of Golden, Colorado.  That big building is the Coors Brewery, aka our next stop.

Most of the pictures after entering the brewery were blurry and off center for some reason.  I guess the free tasting didn't help.

This is the view from outside the brewery.

 We went on a museum trip on Saturday.  This was the highlight.

This is the art museum we should have gone to, but the Van Gogh exhibit had been sold out for weeks.

Also on Saturday we went on a tour of Coors field, probably my favorite tourist thing that we did.  Very much behind the scenes and we got to go on the field.
