History Trippin' 

We are fortunate to have 3 sets of friends in the Denver area, so we’ve had no shortage of friends to show us around.  It’s been great.  Familiar playmates!  One of our coolest adventures was hiking in Boulder with our friends Jack and Anne and their mom Missy near the rock formation called the Flatirons.  As we got out of the car we were greeted with beautiful music.  It was all around us and although we had come to hike, we first had to know where the music was coming from.  We followed the drums and the flutes and the violins to the Chautauqua Auditorium where we found the Colorado Music Festival Orchestra practicing for a concert that evening!  What a surprise!  The interior of the auditorium was covered in huge wooden beams – very rustic, but the sound quality was great.  Since the doors were propped open we walked in and sat among the handful of other visitors who had been drawn to the music and listened for a while.
