If you want to meet for breakfast... Join Nicole and I at Sunrise Sunset just of 6th Avenue & Garrison St. at 9 am.  We'll go on to the museum and hopefully get there about 10:30.

I would like to go, but we will have to wait and see what is going on with Nicholas' arm.  I will keep you updated, when is the deadline for head count?
Tina
 
Heck I didn't have a real deadline in mind.? I'll probably call this week and see if they have a minimum group size or not.  :D
 
Hmmm, we might be able to make this!  Providing it's after noon.  If we meet around 1:00 or so, we could probably make it!  :eek:

goatboy
 
sorry to hear that gb... hope your wife has a speedy recovery!  Hope we can meet up the next time your able to come out this way again.

 
Hey, can you find out about a place for us to stay over night in case it ends up being a late evening, if we are able to make it.  Maybe some place that has a military discount.
Thanks,
Tina

I'll check into it for you... do you have a preference?  I'm not sure how long it would take for you to get up here Tina but we're planning to get there around opening time at 10.  I'm guessing we'd be done early afternoon.  Plus they say the weather should be nice so you shouldn't get stuck here in town.

Take our name off, we can't make it. (n)

Bummer Chris hope you can make it to the next one!  (y)
 
Cheap but nice....LOL.  I just want to be sure in case the day does run long.  It is about a 4 hour drive from here.
Tina
 
Chuck,

So plans have changed slightly.  What time were you thinking of meeting for breakfast again?  I think we can meet up for breakfast, then we will have to head off for a hockey game 11:30-12:30.  Then meet up at the museum at 1:00 if you all are still there.

Darren
 
Hey Tina... checking out things online I only seem to get the optional discount of if you're traveling for the military. ?I'll have to try and talk to my aunt and see if she knows who might give military discounts and go from there. ?What time are you planning to head up?

Well Darren if Tina is still planning on coming up from Walsenburg maybe we should push back the meet up time.  We can still meet for breakfast though before you head off for the hockey game.  (y)
 
I am not sure, probably leave here around 8 or 9 in the morning.  I am pretty sure that we are coming.  My son is really excited about the Wings over the Rockies.  Another reason that I would just like to stay the night is that we have all had bronchitis this past week and I just don't want to over do it.
Can you take pictures inside the museum?
Thanks for your help.
Tina
 
Well I'm planning to take lots of pictures so I certainly hope we can! ;)

I've got emails/calls into family about the hotel recommendation w/ military discount.  Just doing an online search I come up with this...

Just checking for hotels within 25 miles of Denver your best bet would probably be the Best Western in Castle Rock.  That would get you out of Denver and on your way back home without having to drive too far.

Hey Tina... after talking to my cousin (major in the air force) and he recommended Holiday Inn Express as the place to go.  He said other hotels only offered a certain number of rooms at the government/military rate.  But Holiday Inn Express always had rooms at the government rate.  Just let them know you wanted the government rate when booking and then show them your ID when you check in.  Here are the two locations I'd try first.  They're near I-25 and are either on the south side of Denver or south of Denver (Castle Rock).

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites - ENGLEWOOD

Holiday Inn Express - CASTLE ROCK

You can book online but it might be better to call 1 800 315 2621 and book your room if you want to ask any questions.  I hope this helps.

Chuck
 
Tina wont be attending.  She sounds like death on the phone.  (The whole crew has some nasty bug, no imunity to CO germs after living in Germany for the last half decade). Hopefully she will be feeling better soon.
