Aug 6-7-8, 2011 Rocky Mtn Summer Trip


Back to John & Elaine's in Littleton for the weekend. Had such a great time last weekend we'll just do it again.
We arrived at their house, jumped out of our vehicle, threw our stuff in the guest room, jumped into their car and headed to a Parisian antique/fair which had a lot of unusual stuff. And we even ran into a huge tent sale at the Coleman Camping Store. What could be better? Well, we had a outdoors sunset dinner with The Circle. From our vantage point high above Castle Rock we could look to the north and see Longs Peak, to the west there was Mt. Evans, and to the south was Pikes Peak. The sunset was awesome. Sunday we ask if we could go downtown since we've never been to the city of Denver proper. It was really hopping as the Rockies were playing. We also visited Rockmount Shirt Co. Up until his death the CEO of the company was the oldest CEO in the U.S. at something like 106 years. He was also the person who started putting pearl snaps instead of buttons on western shirts. Very neat shop. Elaine showed us her high school which was absolutely huge. Looked more like a small college campus than a high school. For lunch we went into McCormicks and ordered everything on the appetiser menu and shared. And we even found an antique store.
