We hit some pretty strong storms on our way into Denver. After a bit of a white knuckle drive we made it to the hotel. The hotel is gorgeous and we immediately took advantage of the shower and the balcony. We called it a night since we'd already been up for 20 hours.
Thursday morning we slept in and then headed out on foot to explore Denver a bit. Our first stop was a restaurant called Racines for lunch. The food was so good and we got more than enough. Tim ordered the cheese and onion enchilada plate and I had chicken stuffed with ham and fontina and covered in a jalapeno cream sauce. Then we walked through downtown to see the 16th Ave Mall and take a tour of Coors Field. The Field was awesome!
Afterwards we were going to check out the US Mint but missed the tours since they apparently close at 130 pm. So instead we stopped at the yard house for happy hour. The plan was to have a beer or two and then head back to the hotel. That plan was foiled by a powerful thunderstorm. So we stayed, had a few more beers, and some nachos and chicken wings instead. We made it back to the hotel around 630 pm and lounged around watching tv.
I fell asleep early but Tim stayed up a bit. We got up this morning, got breakfast and hit the road for Omaha.
