Red Rocks and Boulder

Andy and I left our Airbnb around 8:30 a.m. Monday, well before the check-out time. All the owner asked was to pile the dirty towels by the front door and said we could wash dishes if we wanted. We did. Andy even took out the trash because Monday was trash day.
Andy was driving fast and I asked what the hurry was? We'll be in Denver before anything is open. That's when we decided to drive theough Red Rocks Park. This is a John Denver statue at the Trading Post gift shop.
He climbed up to the ampitheater ...
while I made friends with a deer that wasn't scared of me at all.
Andy got great views of the ampitheater.
He said it was quite a walk up.
He even took a pic of me waiting for him lol.
This was his artsy pic with the city of Denver in the background.
Then we decided to head to Boulder to checkout the University of Colorado. We didn't realize it was student move-in day. This stop was supposed to be a scenic lookout over Boulder.
Campus is pretty but all of the building look like this. You can't tell what's an old building and what's new. We think this was the band practicing, no instruments though.
This, we think, is a dorm. No students though.
We stopped at a little brewery in Boulder, Mountain Sun, for a beer and a snack.
Cute downtown area.
Our last stop was the house from the old TV show, "Mork and Mindy." Interesting.
Then we returned the rental car, checked our bags and headed to the United Club to relax and have lunch while United delayed our flight 40 minutes.
Finally leaving Denver.
Blue super moon as we came into O'Hare.
O'Hare was all decked out for the Democratic convention. They also had huge flags hanging above all of the security entrances.
