Cross Country Road Trip Day 4

We spent all day in Denver!

Highlights:
1. I spent all morning visiting with my great aunt & cousins! A couple hours of family stories & reminiscing is always a good thing.
2. Wandering around 16th Street Mall in Downtown Denver for shopping & drinks.
3. Dinner at The Buckhorn Exchange. I saw the place on a Travel Channel show & it met the hype. The Rocky Mountain Oysters are a fun bucket list food item. The elk steak & quail was an amazing quality steakhouse meal.
4. Knowing that there had been snow covering the city last week & we were walking around in skirts & t-shirts was a thankful feeling.
5. Seeing the mountains as a backdrop to everything was awesome.

Reality check:
I enjoyed the whole day. I just wish I had a bit more time to explore.
