Today it was 68 degrees and sunny. We talked about doing another road trip versus staying in town. Got out our Colorado book and our Denver Book and looked through both. Hmmmm the Glenn Miller exhibit at the museum in Ft. Collins, Colorado Springs, Mirror Lake, 16th St Mall....the Mall won. Off we went, first to pick up some pictures at our local Walgreen's. We ordered them through Picassa on line and presto, ready at the pharmacy. Very nice! The guy at the photo department said yesterday they had 2000 orders! Things are definitely done on the big side here. We asked directions and drove to the 16th St. Mall without TomTom guidance. Oh such brave souls we were. Once near downtown we followed signs to the Visitor Center. Lo and behold a parking space right off 16th St! How good is that! A mile long mall with shops and restaurants and artsy things; a park at one end and and government buildings at the other. A free shuttle bus runs between both ends, actually several buses simultaneously. We walked, rode the shuttle, ate at an out door cafe, shopped (Julie that is). Once we had our fill of 16th St Mall we drove to the Cherry Creek Mall. That was more difficult to negotiate. A Farmers Market was just finishing up their day and the normal routes into the parking garages were blocked off. After some minor delays and frustrations we found the perfect spot...2 spaces away from the Macy's entrance. Once inside we were greeted with the wonderful aroma of hot Cinnamon buns, coffee, popcorn and the bright lights of a mega mall. We walked around a little, sat, shopped - had our obligatory Cinnamon bun in honor of mom - along with some raspberry lemonade. Home to a long nap. Fun Times in Denver!
