We have been hauling around some Scone mix that we bought at the Tuck Box in Monterey a ways back, and were happy to fix and enjoy it with Rob, Suzanne and Sophia this morning, then all piled into the RV, and headed up to Boulder (again, trying to bypass large cities like Denver as possible).
There, Barbara had found a very nice Tea room that was built by one of Boulders sister cities in Tajikistan. Beautiful place, with great food. Then wandered around down town, and took shifts as the kids napped in the RV. Downtown had a nice mix of tourist and local flair - they were the first city in the US to have a "walking district" there they closed off the streets for a 4 block section, and made it walking only, which did great things for the area - invited in more browsing stores, and gave a space for lots of nice art, play areas, and an inviting space in between.
From there, we headed down to the outskirts of Denver to a place called "Casa Grande" for dinner. A really fun and remarkable place. Inside, it is at least three stories tall, with a central water fall with cliff divers, ala Acapulco diving from like 30ft up. Have all sorts of shows going on, and the whole place is a bunch of caves, caverns, walkways and patios to explore. Also, guys in gorilla suits jumping around, Maraichi bands, puppets, and treasure chests. Really fun - sort of like "Medieval Times" but with a Coco-Loco flair.
Then back to Colorado springs, and another days activities tomorrow (TBD - playing it by ear, but I hear rumors of a BBQ tomorrow night, so we might have to stay another night!)
