The Power of a Book

Yesterday, D-man picked up a couple new books at the local library. While they are probably a bit too easy for him, he ripped through them both and wanted to start on the next one in the series. Unfortunately, our local library is not open on Sundays. Luckily, the Central Library had a copy of the book and we decided to head downtown to get it. We zipped downtown and talked about the Performing Arts Center (where we are going to see The Lion King), the Denver Art Museum (where we saw King Tut), the City and County Building, and the State Capitol. We saw firetrucks coming out of the station and huge cranes working on the history museum. In just a short time, we saw quite a bit. On the drive, D-man commented how cool it all was.

Not only was this D-man's first trip to the Central Library, it was mine as well. I can't think of a better reason for my first visit - to get a book for my son because he just couldn't wait. D-man was in awe at the library and we enjoyed taking it all in - from the automated book return to the giant children's section to all the floors. I don't think he'll ever look at our local library branch the same. I'm guessing we will be visiting the downtown branch sooner than later - I'm already looking forward to our next mini-adventure.
