We are trying to offer our girls "experiences" for their birthday. For Amy's 12th birthday this year we got tickets to the musical "Lion King". We made dinner reservations at Osteria Marco on Larimer Square and enjoyed a delightful night in downtown Denver. The weather earlier in the day had been in the 60s so it was a more pleasant night than it might have been for a typical November.
We had plenty of time after dinner to walk over to the Denver Performing Arts Center. Can I just say that the performance was A. MAZ. ING! The opening scene was incredible with the animal characters entering through the side entrances and walking down to the stage. I highly recommend it. Sadly, I forgot my camera for any before or after shots.
