To celebrate Mom's birthday, Dad and I concocted a birthday weekend adventure that took us about 50 miles from home to the city of Pueblo.
Our first stop was the El Pueblo Museum located in the Historic Union District. The museum is small but will supplied with remnants of the diverse influx of pioneers and visionaries that knew this would become a melting pot created by the existence of the Santa Fe Trail, the railroad, the discovery of gold and the mountain men guiding new settlers through and to the region.
They even had a visiting doll collection that depicts actual history shaping women of the region. They were all beautifully depicted.
Then we were off to dinner at Red Lobster, yummy and back to our hotel to put on warmer clothing so we could go to the Pueblo Zoo to see the Electric Critters. Each holiday season the zoo puts out the light displays, pipe music through the zoo and have a hot chocolate station in the penguin house. There are over 250,000 lights throughout the zoo. It was lots of fun.
I hope everyone is having a fun-filled weekend!
