Team Robison: Denver, Colorado

Our first destination was Denver, Colorado. We arrived around 2:30 p.m. and had a fun lunch at a 60s themed diner called Gunther Toody's. After checking into our hotel, we took the light rail train downtown to walk around. Mark and I had visited Denver back in 2009 to help my brother Jacob shop for a car. I was excited for the kids to visit the Capitol and the fun park bordering it. But our timing wasn't great and Hannah fell asleep and Matthew was rather irritable. We grabbed a quick bite to eat on the 16th Street Mall, and then walked all the way to Union Station, the big transit hub that was still under construction. From there we were able to catch a train back to our hotel.

On Saturday, we met up with the Corders, Chad and Diana and their two kids Cameron and Abby. We decided to take all the kids to the aquarium, which was fun. Matthew zoomed through basically the entire building in about 10 minutes, and then Mark was able to convince him to come back and walk through with everyone else. There was a mermaid show, which the kids really enjoyed, and they had a tiger (random, huh?) which they loved. It was so nice to visit with Diana and Chad again.
