Well, even though I have to work through my birthday, I had an awesome weekend. My mom came down from California and I took last weekend off. I got to play tourist and see the sights. Some of which I have not seen yet, though I have lived in Colorado for 5 years.
On Friday, we went to the Denver Aquarium. This time we were able to see the mermaid show, which the girls loved.
After the aquarium, we just relaxed for the rest of the day.
On Saturday morning, we made the trek down to Colorado Springs, where we went to Cave of the Winds and stopped by Garden of the Gods. Cave of the Winds was great to see, but a little underwhelming. But we only went on the shorter 45 minute tour. When me and Leanne are able to get a baby sitter, we are going to go on the Lantern tour, which is about an hour and half and you literally are given lanterns since where you are going there is no electricity.
On Sunday we went to Buffalo Bills Museum/grave and went to the Molly Brown Museum. During the tou of the Molly Brown museum I learned something interesting. deceased loved ones would sometimes spend weeks in the house, since there wasn't really any mortuaries back then. Due to this, the "living room" came to be. For the ones living that is.
We did a lot and had it was great to see my mom. I am trying to see if I can plan a visit sometime next year to Cali.
