The Denver Art Museum

Denver Art Museum (DAM like my initials) is really an amazing structure. Chuck and I went there on Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend. We saw a bunch a great modern art, a lot of fantastic sculptures, and a traveling exhibit from Santa Fe.

Bus to Arvada

Is it ON or is it OFF?

Mom's gift to Chuck and Deb

Last Christmas, my Mom, Barbara gave us a really special gift. She reserved a room for us at Zion's Lodge. This is the view from our room on Halloween Day 2008. The trip was great, the room so nice, and the view, outstanding! As we sat having cocktails a little bat came and flew around our heads, he must have known it was Halloween. Then 3 deer walked within 10 feet of our balcony. Thank you, Mom, it was wonderful.

Hiking the Zion Narrows

This is the beginning of The Zion Narrows. Chuck really wanted to see it. We were prepared, but the water was 50° and the air was cool and crisp!

The trees down in the canyon were all colors, and absolutely beautiful. We only saw the sun for a few minutes though.

The water in the narrows is so blue-green where it gets deep.

Chuck and I made it all the way beyond the confluence to Wall Street, the very narrow section.

Our neighbor squirrel, that lived right outside our door at the lodge.

Deb in the deepest part. Thank goodness it wasn't that deep all along. Mom loaned us hiking sticks and we were glad to have them!
