Events In and Around Denver

Sorry there has been such a long silence. We were in Denver for a National Convention.  Here is a recap of some of the happenings during our trip. Thankfully, we are home safe and sound.

Day 1

We spent a wonderful day going to the Mother Cabrini Shrine, the Red Rock Amphitheater and then headed to the Coors Brewery. That evening we went to Dinner Theater in Golden.

Day 3

I was interviewed for the “Busted Halo Show” being broadcast live from the hotel for Sirius XM Radio.  It was great to meet Father Dave Dwyer, Brett Sedell and Robin Gould.  What a once in a lifetime experience! We were then entertained by “Patsy DeCline” in an entertaining country music show.

Day 7

Traveling home on Delta Airlines. Very uneventful.  YEAH!!! Get to sleep in my own bed tonight.

Denver

Arrived uneventfully in Denver for a weeklong conference. Traveled through Atlanta to get here. 

We got up at 4 am to give us time to get to the airport. We saw a couple of friends, Max and Natalie, at the airport and spent some time catching up with them.  The flight to Atlanta was short and I dozed a little. In Atlanta, we met up with friends who were on the same flight to the conference. Since I hadn’t slept well the night before, I got a little sleep on the plane. Then took the opportunity to read a little. The plane was rather cramped, so I decided against knitting.  

Katie Mullen's

We arrived around 10:30 am Denver time. We went to lunch at a wonderful Irish Pub .... Katie Mullen's. The pub had a library in it! Great atmosphere. 

Since we have to host a hospitality room on Tuesday, we took a cab to the Safeway and bought supplies.

Colorado State Capitol Building

Dinner was at the Yard House. Over 200 beers to sample. Since only one was gluten free I didn’t have any. The hits were the raspberry and blueberry beers.  I did, however, have the caramel ice cream.  Mmmmmm!
