Denver Aquarium

We recently went to the Denver aquarium as Violet loves fish. She does the best fish face I have seen west of the Mississippi and especially loves Goldfish.

The great thing about Denver is that it is only an hour's drive from Colorado Springs. One of my co-workers used to live in northern California and she was telling me it took her some time to get used to the "big city" of Colorado Springs. Colorado Springs only has a few hundred thousand people. Everyone's perspective can be different based on our own experiences. After moving to Colorado Springs from the Twin Cities (Minneapolis/St. Paul), Minnesota, Colorado Springs feels super small. Although Denver metro boasts around 3 million people, I still do not think it is as cosmopolitan as Minneapolis/St. Paul. But it is growing on me. The aquarium was in downtown Denver and here is a shot from the free parking that we stumbled upon.


Violet loves the fish! She could not get close enough!



Lacy and Violet did not seem too concerned over the sharks swimming above their heads.



Perhaps Violet will be a scuba diver when she grows up.


We all had a great time at the Denver aquarium!
