A Day in Denver

We spent some time in Old City Park and the Denver Science Museum.  We balanced all of the time we've spent focusing on the outdoors and national parks with a day focused on outer space.  We watched a planetarium show on the planets and an IMAX movie on life on the international space station and views of Earth from it.  The IMAX movie "A Beautiful Planet" is worth seeing if you can.  I've never seen such amazing footage inside and outside of the space station.
