While we were at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, we bought tickets to explore the International Exhibit of Sherlock Holmes. It’s is a traveling exhibition and was in Denver for about a month. I am a big Sherlock fan and was excited to check it out. The exhibit was not what I was expecting, and I was kind of disappointed. The first room (what I hoped the whole… View Post »
Denver Museum of Nature and Science
Way back on MLK Day, we headed up to Denver.

This is one of those posts that I write then forget to upload photos to for weeks. So yeah. Before we headed back east, we visited the Electric Safari at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. Since we’re members, our admission was free. The gates opened at 5, so we got there right after they opened. The whole zoo wasn’t opened, but we enjoyed the lights and animals that were out.
