A Week in Denver - Denver Botanic Gardens

There is nothing that brings a smile to my face as walking through lovely gardens.  That being said, we make a trek to see the Denver Botanic Gardens and oh my, was it worth it!  At this elevation the spring flowers and early summer flowers were at their most beautiful.  I hope you enjoy just a few of the several hundred photos that Bill and I took while wandering around these beautiful gardens.















Deciding which photos to put here (and knowing you didn't want to look at 200+ pics) was not easy.  I ended up posting some of the pictures that show the masses of flowers and a few of my favorite individual flower pics.  Hope you enjoy looking at them!

We Are on Vacation - in Denver!!!

What, you say?  On vacation?  Come on, you are on a permanent vacation, you say.

Well, yes and no!  But we don't spend every day out sightseeing and being on the go constantly.  So our live style can't really be called a true vacation in that sense. So I decided that we needed a real vacation before we go to the mountains for summer! 

So the next stop is Denver for a week.  Bill, get out your walking shoes because we are going to make tracks!
We are staying at Cherry Creek State Park, a wonderful oasis right in the middle of Denver.  Here are our views from outside the motorhome.


Lots of snow on the Front Range.  Yeah!  This means we need to make a trip up Mount Evans, among other things.

This park is fairly new and made for big rigs so lots of room for our baby!




So I am busy planning our next week.  Come back and see where we go!
