After a late start this morning we decided to go to the Denver Museum of thNature and Science.  It is located right on the edge of City Park.  To the right of City Park Lake is the Denver Zoo.  We decided to do that another year along with the Denver Mint.  By the time we got online, all the tours at the Mint for today were taken.

Inside the museum, there was a display of gold that is kept inside a vault at night. 

The next picture explains the story behind the gold

This piece of Gold has been named Tom's Baby.  Tom Groves, one of the miners at the time is said to have carried it out of the mine like a baby.  The piece weighs 13 pounds and was found in 1880.

Today's sign was caught along a main route through the city.  They have the boys in blue on motorcycles with radar in hand and a citation book.  They had nabbed 2 in just the short time that we went through.

At the end of the day, Grammie was found having supper with her nephew Tod.

It was a good day to be in Denver.  The temperature reached 80 and the skies were clear.  Tomorrow, we continue our journey heading back east.
