Denver, CO





There is so much to do here! We can go the museum this weekend or the zoo or even skiing. This is a beautiful place with so many things to see. It is easy to understand why this city is know and the fittest city in the country when it has 300 days of sunshine with near perfect temperatures for being outside. I love it!

The City and County of Denver is the capital and the most populous city of Colorado, in the United States. Denver is located in the South Platte River Valley on the High Plains just east of the Front Range of the Southern Rocky Mountains. The Denver downtown district is located immediately east of the confluence of Cherry Creek with the South Platte River, approximately 15 miles (24 km) east of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Denver is nicknamed the Mile-High City because its official elevation is exactly one mile (5280 feet or 1609.344 m) above sea level.

We went to the Denver Mint and the Denver Art Museum. They were very neat places with lots of things to see and do!
