We have had a really nice summer, despite our gripes about warm and humid weather. What a surprise to find that school starts on Monday.
We've been pretty busy and just got back from a week in Colorado, visiting Mom and Jenny. My brothers Rob (NJ) and Axel (WI) were also there as we celebrated summer birthdays, including Axel's 65th. We went to a very interesting exhibit about Leonardo da Vinci at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. Leonardo kept many notebooks of drawings and ideas for gadgets large and small. Some engineers made scale models of some of them - a bicycle, a couple of airplanes, an odometer, bridges, tanks, etc. Fascinating exhibits, along with a room devoted to the Mona Lisa and an area that reviewed The Last Supper.
We ate well, including birthday desserts, rode the train downtown for lunch, went to the movies (Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood - bloody so not my favorite), and went to the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum. More on that tomorrow when I get the photos uploaded.
