I wouldn't stay downtown as that is pricey and unnecessary.  The Butterfly Pavilion is nice and a good experience for a couple of hours.  The children's museum would be good for them.  The Zoo is excellent and Elitches is not as big as lot of the other Six Flags amusement parks are as it is still growing.  Sometimes you can get tickets for these events at a discount at one of the local grocery stores, I shop at King Soopers.  The Museum of Science and History is located near the Zoo and it is also a very cool place for kids and adults.  There is an Aquarium here and it is just ok...they are working on improving it but you will see it when you go to the children's museum.  There are so many really fun things to do in the mountains I am curious why you would want to stay in Denver itself.  I hope you are going other places?

You will love Dr T as well as CJ, his RN.  They have taken GREAT care of me. They will be right on top of everything as well as they are right there every step of the way. I am 15 months post op with them and they are still there for me. I tend to not do things the easy way. But then I have allwayse been that way.

I wished I was close to Sweedish for the group.

Topic: OT: Traveling to Colorado with kids
Hi There!

  We are planning a little family vacation to Colorado.  We have two boys ages 3 and 11.  We are planning to go to the butterfly pavilion, Children's museum, the Denver zoo, and Elitches.  Since we've never been to any of these places, we were wondering if these would be good places for the kids.  Are there any "kid friendly" hotels in this area?  Do you know of any "deals" we can get to make our money stretch a little farther?  Any information would be greatly appreciated, as this will be our "last blast" , as a family, before school starts.

Ok I just have to post about the western slope. I live in Grand Junction and would never live anywhere else! We are known for being able to ski and play golf in the same day if you'd like to! The skiing is about a half hr drive and usually when we get snow it melts same day or within a couple days. We have very mild weather and have never had a tornado as we are nestled in a valley surrounded by mountains.  We also have the worlds largest flattop mountain as our scenery which is absolutely beautiful. We are a city of about 130,000 people. Anyway, congrats on the move and I'm sure wherever you choose you will love the great state of CO!

  • The panniculetomy removes hanging fat and skin from the tummy area.
  • Be sure to find a surgeon highly qualified to do this surgery.

Topic: RE: Moving to Colorado from Texas?

Well welcome. I add to the choir that Colorado Springs is the place. I moved out here in 1999 from Ca and so in love with it I will never leave. Colorado Springs is real close to most outdoor activities and you will be quiet happy with what you find and the amount of choices. It sits basically at the base of NORAD in Cheyenne MTN. You ever see the TV show Stargate it was portrayed there. We are also real close to Pikes Peak Mtn. We are like just below it and it is all we see when you look to the West here. As well as Colorado Springs is a  big town with a small town attitude. I moved out here for better jobs and better place to raise my kids. Could not have been a better choice. My kids are now adults. As for school districts. I have lived in 3 since I have been here. And to be honest D12 Cheyenne Mtn is the best. It sounds like you have a choice and money. It is kinda the rich area of town but the schools there were nationally rated against private schools back when my kids attended there. And it did nothing but impress me. And yes D12 is public school. That is the SW part of Colorado Springs. And for Pediatricians. The one I had when my kids were younger was pretty awesome. Do not know if he is still around but his name was Dr Harry Anderson. He looks like a hippie but do not let that fool you. He is REAL GOOD at caring for his patents. One of my kids had allot of special needs and he never missed a beat on caring for everything.

Good luck with the new baby!!

Kathy
