On our last day we “took it easy,” joining J, J &N for breakfast before a trip to the Denver Botanical Gardens in the morning, just a few blocks from their house.

 

We saw some tiny hummingbirds (yes, tiny by hummingbird standards) and I struggled to get a shot.  There were no good clear shots, but see if you can find the bird in the photos below:

There was also an interior “tropical” room.

We came back and packed up our bags, but not without getting some pictures with little N.

After packing up and saying goodbye to J & N we decided to head to Boulder on our friends’ recommendation.  We walked up and down Pearl street before heading up into the mountains above the town.

When we came back down we went to see the flatirons, but the sun had already shot to the other side of the mountain, leaving the flatirons in shadow.  We were also plenty tired, so we decided to just head to the airport.

Once at the airport we discovered that Southwest had delayed our flight by an hour.  Once we finally hit the runway at LAX we had to sit and wait as “someone was at our gate.”  Who could have been there?  It was supposed to be us!  Past midnight we finally made it all the way home and went to sleep.
