SO FUN!!!

CHEROKEE RANCH CASTLE



My fam came to visit me for a fun weekend in Denver. We went to this early 1900's castle which used to have 100's of cattle roaming the acreage. You'll see below some of the findings inside the castle. The castle is built of mostly natural rock and slate. A woman, named Tweet, was the second owner and she had several celebrities visit there. There are several original icons such as furniture and paintings including a Peter Paul Rubens painting which was fascinating!

Tiles shipped from France, placed above fire place in dining room

THE WILDLIFE MUSEUM

Van was mostly occupied with the buttons where frogs had different rib-biting sounds-hilarious!
I like the blue poisonous frogs
Cousin Rio was very interested in the frogs


 Van couldn't leave until he could ride the moose

We also caught an IMAX on dolphins

TAKE THE CAKE

I was thinking 4 maybe 5 to split....no, we took a whole cheesecake and a couple more. Why? It was my birthday!

the mango key lime was a limited special but it was actually quite refreshing!
