Colorado Vacation 1989 - Wrap Up
Well, I enjoyed going back to Denver for Thanksgiving. Not only did I get to spend some time with family, I also was able to visit some of my favorite places. I'll have to go back soon.
Denver Botanic Gardens
Whenever I visit a city, I always seem to visit the botanical and zoological gardens. On this trip, I did visit the Denver Botanic Gardens. More information can be found at the Garden's web site; there's a link in the Landmarks I've Visited section.

Denver is one of my favorite cities - I grew up there. I spent one afternoon of my 1989 vacation there, waxing nostalgic. It had only been two and a half years since I had moved to Florida, so I made it a point to visit some of my favorite places.

One day during the vacation, my brother Al and I took a road trip up to Estes Park via Colorado Highway 7. On the way back, we took Devil's Gulch Road through Glen Haven to see the site where the cabin our grandparents once owned used to be. The cabin was destroyed in the Big Thompson Flood of August, 1976.
