Day 7:
Saying good-bye to Grandma & Grandpa - GeorgeTown Railroad & Mining Tour
An interesting fact about Jim is that he has 2 different thumbs! He got one of his dad's and one of his mom's. People never believe him..Now I have the proof. (mom on the right & dad on the left)
We decided to break our trip up a little more and leave Denver a day early (a 10 hour drive to St. George just didn't sound good). We stopped about an hour out of Denver to a cute little city: Georgetown, where we took a train ride and toured an old silver mine.
Riding along Devil's Gate Bridge..gorgeous!!
Here's something you don't see everyday: an ass taking his owner out for a jog! (can you say random!)
The temperature inside the mine was about 44 degrees. An interesting MINE fact: it can be over 100 degrees out and the mine will stay in the low 40's. It can be -20 degrees out and the mine will still stay in the low 40's!
Here I am holding up Interstate 7o! Pretty cool!
This was an amazing adventure! One of the best in our short time in Denver. Anyone heading that direction, I would strongly recommend it..especially if you have little ones! It was a great way to break up all the driving.
