Saturday, we tried to go to an art museum next to our hotel, but it was closed for the weekend. We ended up having lunch at La Loma and walking to one of the churches close by. Then we got our car (they misplaced it and it took a while to get from the valet). Then we went to visit the Molly Brown Museum and drive down Pennsylvania Ave. It was not much bigger than our home, but it was definitely more opulent. Some of the notable features are the entrance, the third floor and the china. I loved learning more of her real history. That was fun. I love that she was very charitable and helped people that were saved from another sinking ship. She helped women get the vote in Colorado and she worked hard. I didn't know that she had children and also that she often had nieces and nephews staying with them. My favorite piece of history that I saw was her clothing bill. It was $27,000. Some of the things were pretty normal. Shirts, undergarments, a gown. Then there was 30 crates of something to be donated to the local museum.
Trying not to laugh.
