Denver, Day 2, Part 2

After lunch at Hamburger Mary's up the street from our hotel, the four of us stopped briefly back at our room and then headed to the Molly Brown House Museum.

The tour was very interesting --I had no idea Margaret Brown had such an incredible life-- and the house itself was wonderfully restored. The admission is $6.50 per adult and well worth it. This tour is recommended.

Both before and after our museum tour, we walked past the Denver legislature. The legislature isn't in session and we didn't bother to see if there might be tours of the facilities themselves, but it's a lovely building from the exterior if nothing else.

After resting our tired feet at our hotel room (and checking up on e-mail and LJ), we headed out to the Denver Wrangler, mingling with the locals for their beer bust. We ran into a few unsavoury characters who were only too happy to pose for a photo for a reasonable price:

Following dinner at Steuben's, we returned to our room to rest and generally prepare for the coming week of non-stop activity. Caller school starts tomorrow at an ungodly hour so we'd better look bright-eyed & bushy tailed.

Molly Brown: awesome woman.

Horrible musical.

I find myself wondering how I managed to live in Denver for over 20 years and never encounter a place called Hamburger Mary's!

I totally concur about the Molly Brown house - great sight to see and the biography offered there is worth it. After reading it, I also concur with paigemom - horrible musical.

Meredith Willson should have stopped after "The Music Man" IMO. You know, quit while he was ahead!

We're outta here on United Airlines next Monday 5 PM so we should be around Sunday afternoon. I don't know what the convention schedule for that day will be like yet so I can't say yet if we'd make the beer bust. Still, if you happen to drift by the Grand Hyatt (not the lesser Hyatt) in the evening, I'm sure there'd be lots of folks with which to mingle!

He was transferred up from the intermediate caller school class to the advanced class so I got to dance with him all of today! He's now even a few pounds lighter. :-)
