Off Topic: Going to Denver for the 1st time.

[mightyvol]

Just was curious if anyone lives or has been to Denver? I know that alot of people here ask about Las Vegas and all the places to go and visit there. Staying in Denver a couple of nights on the way to California to take care of couple of personal issues in the San Jose area. Thanks for the Info.

Sure do! Lived here for about 7 years now.

Where are you staying? Maybe we can hook up for a beer or ten

Plan on going to the Rockies while there and I believe that we are staying at the Holiday Inn downtown. Other than that I am clueless about our stay. Would love to have a beer with you, but i will have family with.....probably a wise decision to stay away from the bar........ maybe another time TTinco. Any advise you give about Denver will be appreciated though.

Thanks

I've been in Colorado 3 years now, Denver about 6 months, so I'll chime in if needed, but TT is the expert.

You'll have no problem getting Rockies tickets lolBIG: )

Downtown and the nearby Cherry Creek mall(very upscale) offer some great shopping, and the downtown mall makes for some very "interesting" people watching.

If you're not in a hurry, spend a day in Rocky Mountain National Park(about 45-60 minutes out of Denver). Absolute must do if you and\or the family have never been in the Rockies. If you want to stay closer to downtown, there is a very nice aquarium and a Six Flags a (very) short light rail ride away.

Without knowing what you're into or how old the kids are, that covers the "general info" category. Let me know what you are looking to do-you'll love the dry heat out here.

Vol, if nothing else, I can email you my cell # in case you have any where\how\etc questions while you & the family are out here. Beats the hell out of trying to wing it in a place that you've never been to.

Vol, if you get a chance goto the Red Rocks Ampa theater for a concert, best concert you'll ever attend.... (about 40 minutes from down town)

Also, if you like steak and seafood you can't go wrong with The Palm located on Lawrence st in downtown. I use to bake and deliver their breads from Paradise Bakery, TT can vouche that they are 1 of the best bakeries in CO...

Guys, Thanks for the replies. The plan is for my wife, daughter, (11 months) and sister in law to hang out and enjoy the day sight seeing and possibly do a little shopping. Who knows how that will go with a 11 month old? My brother in law plan on going to the Rockies game on a Sat. night. The next day we have a family reunion @ winter part (snow mountain ranch?) that we are attending. You guys have been great. Feel free to recommend anything that you feel will be of interest. Thanks alot.

Vol, 16th street mall is a great shopping area, ask anyone there at the hotel where it is, it's easy to find... Most of the streets in Denver are numbered so it's real easy to find where your going.. Also Cherry Creek is good..

I would take TT up on his offer; very generous...
