Gold Rush Day

We went to the Western Museum of Mining & Industry today for Gold Rush Day, celebrating the 150th Anniversary of the Colorado Gold Rush (1859). Admission was an easy $1.50, while the kids under 3 were free (bonus!). I was disappointed that the burros weren't out, but it was fun. The kids got to pan for good (or spill water all over themselves). We also got to see the Stamp Mill up on the hill. It's not always open, usually only in the summer/warmer months. The kids also received a "gold" spike which was a cute keepsake.
