Day 5 (Jun 26): Up early, and off to Denver. We started the day with a tour of the Denver mint (Sorry, no pictures - due to tight security). While we were there, we learned alot about coin making - Do you know what a Planchette is? The gift shop was a bit difficult to find, but they had some nice stuff. After the mint, we headed up to Boulder in order finish up the soaring that the girls (Chantelle and Amber) missed out on earlier in the vacation. The weather wasn't the best, but the girls had a good time.

After that exhilirating event, we took a short trip over to the Celestial Seasonings plant. We didn't have time to do the full tour, but we ate at the cafeteria. After our bellies were full, we were ready for one more event. NOAA - The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. An excellent science based tour, and they've got this awesome globe that they project 3d data onto. It's incredible, the presentation took up most of the tour, but it was great.
