Discovering a cool museum in our own town made us feel like tourists in our own city.\u00a0 We decided on a restaurant in LoDo near the ballpark called Biker Jim’s Dogs<\/a>.\u00a0 Of course Ben chose an exotic dog made of rattlesnake and pheasant topped with cactus and a Malaysian jam.\u00a0 I chose a much more boring all beef dog, Jim’s Classic style with cream cheese and grilled onions.\u00a0 Their baked beans were really good, and probably the best fried mac and cheese I’ve ever ordered.\u00a0 I was really excited to see a Boylan’s soda fountain too.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

After lunch we walked a few blocks to Sakura Square.\u00a0 On the way we saw a strange group bicycle:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

And some funny street art:<\/p>\n

At the Pacific Mercantile Company I entertained Jack so Ben could find some ramen and Japanese spices. \u00a0 <\/div>\n
<\/a><\/a><\/div>\n

I also found some goodies:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

I wonder if these will be any good.\u00a0 The one I tried in San Francisco came out of a box too.\u00a0 Next week we have plans to visit Boulder.\u00a0 I have my sights set on Smooch<\/a>.\u00a0 Their mochi ice cream looks heavenly and I can’t wait to try several.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

It was so fun to play in Denver today!\u00a0 I learned some cool things (did you know Denver had three cable car lines in the 1880s?\u00a0 We saw a cable car at the museum from Denver), and it reminded me that there’s a lot to explore in our own town still.\u00a0 It’s even possible to sight see with a toddler.\u00a0 (Jack was angelic for the outing, even putting his hands in pockets while wandering the museum.\u00a0 He only needed occasional reminders to behave.)\u00a0 Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a mochi ball calling my name.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
