I am sooooo sorry it has taken me forever to get back to you! If you come to Denver and have free time Bo and I would Love Love Love to meet you and Carter!!!!
Funny your H will be in Castle Rock! We are looking at houses in that area! It is gorgeous but not a lot to do!
Some ideas of outings would be:
The wildlife experience
The Denver Zoo; they are opening a new elephant exhibit which looks awesome
The children's museum (not that cool for an 8 month baby)
The Denver museum of art or science
Wash park is gorgeous to walk around
Whatever dates you are here you could bing/ google live music (Bo loves the street performers on Pearl St (boulder)).
Water world (still not that cool or appropriate for babies) but they do have a little baby area!
The Tattered Cover (a cool book store) has story times On Tuesday and Saturday mornings at 10:30
Of course there is a lot of shopping: Castle Rock Outlets, Park Meadows Mall, 16th St. Mall (Denver), Pearl St Mall (boulder), and Flatirons Mall (Broomfield) which has live music at 6:00 which is a huge family hit!
The Butterfly pavilion is cool, but I am not so sure I am convinced of the cost being worth it! Same as the Denver Aquarium!
OHH!! If you can, try and see a Rockies game. Coors field is gorgeous.
Let me know if you would like to meet up!
Happy trip planning!
Re: Look at me Laine! Hi Carter!
It's ok...as I understand, you've been busy getting ready to move!
Thanks for all great ideas! And Carter and I would love to get together!
It's actually my family that lives in Castle Rock and we will be staying downtown. I can't wait to get back to Denver!!! We were thinking about driving down to the town I used to live in, but I think it'll be too long of a drive for just a few days with a little one. But I know we'll have a great time anyway!
