Denver, In the LoDo (9/7/22)

Before I talk about our day, I wanted to share another photo of Coco. She’s a sweetie. She likes resting/sleeping, walking (or just rolling in the grass), and eating and treats. She’s definitely easy care and goes into her crate when we leave, but also expresses her pleasure when we return. This morning she was cuddling with Bob, so I had to get a photo.

For our outing today, we took the W line of Denver’s light rail to Union Station to check out the LoDo (lower downtown) section of Denver. We drove to a garage to park and then did a short walk to the station, where we had a short wait for the train.

The interesting thing about Denver’s Union Station is that there are 2 sections to it. The part we arrived at is just a light rail stop. You can then walk a few blocks to the main terminal, either above ground or underground by the bus stops. From where we arrived, we initially approached the back of the main terminal before walking through the building and then out the front.

Super clean with lots of comfy chairs to wait in
as well as lots of great dining options.

Our homeowners have season tickets for the Colorado Rockies baseball team. They were kind enough to leave us tickets for today’s afternoon game at Coors Field. We decided this last minute not to go to the game, which was going to be quite warm, but we still wanted to check out the field a little bit. Since we were there within 2 hours of game time, we were able to get in, and everyone was very nice — even taking us right to an elevator when they saw Bob limping. It’s a beautiful stadium.

The LoDo neighborhood also has a number of old buildings that have been renovated for new purposes as well as just lots of retail and restaurants.
