Liz is still feeling a little low, so we sleep in. Off to Denver to meet Warren and Mike for lunch and a tour of downtown. What a cool downtown. We see interesting architecture and sculptures including the broom and dustpan and cow shown here.
Then, off to the Denver mint. One of only 2 mints in the country that have public tours where you can see money being made. We get there only to find it closed. Foiled. Either the book we have is wrong or this is one of the two weeks in the summer that it closes. Lesson learned - call ahead. Ah well. We head off to an amusement park that has big roller coasters and history (meaning it is old). We find it but as we drive up the really big rides aren't running. Turns out the big rides start at 6 pm, but there is a kiddie section open. Okay, okay. Call ahead.
Off to a birthday picnic (Warren's and another friend of theirs ) where we reconnect with Warren's parents, Tim and Sharon, and meet new friends. :-)
