South Valley at Sunset
I thought I was going to disappointed in sunsets having moved to CO from CA, but I was wrong! Wash Park is my fav park around Denver, it's always bustling with joggers, bikers, stroller moms, volleyball...There's always something for everyone! #Adventure #NoFilterBelieveItOrNot :)
It's always interesting to walk around universities and see the different types of architecture. This is the University of Denver founded in 1864 and the oldest private university in the Rocky Mountain region

Great apartment style hotel! The staff was friendly, check in was easy, the room was clean and spacious. The only downside was apparently all 3 hot tubs were not functioning 🤔 and one of the reasons we picked this place was because they had a hot tub.
