Denver

We found an awesome hotel just outside of the city and enjoyed relaxing in the hotel that night.  The next day we headed out to Denver but instead of visiting the downtown area we decided to do a museum instead – The Science and Nature Museum.  This was a very good choice because the museum was awesome and very much geared towards children.  It was cool too because when we went through the wildlife area we discovered that we had seen most of the animals from the areas we had been to and we also realized how much we had learned about the wildlife throughout the trip!  It kind of was a nice wrap-up to our trip.  We also went to their awesome IMAX theater to see the adorable movie Born to be Wild.  It talked about how two women in Africa had taken it upon themselves to raise orangutans and elephants.  The footage was very beautiful and very interesting to watch!  They also had a display with robotic dinosaurs which was VERY realistic!!  Not surprising that Elisabeth would not get anywhere near the Tyrannosaurus Rex and Triceratops!  The robots even had sensors in their eyes that showed what they were seeing on a TV screen above.  When someone would get too close the T-Rex would sniff him and let out a loud roar.  It was very cool!  There were other awesome displays including one on geology and human health where you could use a personalized card to measure your level of health.  We stayed at the museum the whole day and just grabbed a pizza on the way home to eat in our hotel room watching the Tiger’s game (Go Tigers!).
