Nana and Papa go to Golden, CO

Their planned trip to California got nixed at the last minute (covid, of all things!), so they made up for it a little bit with a quick jaunt to Golden, CO. The main attraction was attending a show at Miner's Alley Performing Arts Center in Golden. We saw School of Rock. Bravo! Very impressed with the caliber of the facility, the staging, the actors, the music, the whole shebang. Most impressive where the youth actors in the class/band who actually played the instruments themselves. They really were a rock band! The trip also included a run up to Lookout Mountain which is just west of Golden/Denver along I-70 as you climb up into the Rockies. There they visited the Buffalo Bill Museum, the Boettcher Mansion, and the Mother Cabrini Shrine (for more about her and the movie, go to Jamie's TorahTalks.info). All the trip's photos are here.

We took the tour over 40 years ago.
Had to stop in and say Hi!
