A fantastic journey through Denver!  While it may be the 21st<\/sup> most populated metropolis in the country, with 2.7 million people, it doesn\u2019t feel like it. Denver<\/span> is a great city, with character, culture and friendly people. Visiting my dad and stepmom in Boulder is always such a treat.<\/p>\n

Last year I visited Boulder (from Florida \u2013 sea level), I got off the airplane, and found my dad standing in the normal spot I always find him in, beside the statue in the Denver airport.  I always manage to sneak up to him without him noticing and the look of surprise of my arrival is always nice to see. July is always such a good time to witness so much beauty in the nature of the mountains, there\u2019s so much green!\"20140724_200254\"<\/p>\n

It was our first trip to visit the Denver Botanical Gardens<\/a> \u2013 which happened to have a Dale Chihuly<\/a> Art exhibit throughout.  Dale Chihuly is so talented, his glass accented an already beautiful garden.<\/p>\n

The Denver Botanical Gardens has to be my favorite garden I\u2019ve visited so far besides the Morikami<\/a> gardens in Florida.  It is magical the way the glass sculptures seemed to fit so naturally. His installation at the Denver Botanic Gardens is simply stunning.<\/p>\n

T\"20140724_200857\"hank you, Dale Chihuly, for making the world a more beautiful place, and thank you Denver Botanic Garden for hosting such a spectacular display!<\/p>\n

Fun trip, I can\u2019t wait to go back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
