Denver: Museum of Illusions
I didn’t know what to expect from this museum. Would I learn magic tricks? Would I learn how to interpret political promises? In fact, this museum demonstrates how our brain plays tricks on us. Optical illusions. Mirror tricks. Slanted floors, ceilings and walls. It was awesome!

Miami: dining by the water
After the cruise we spent the rest of the day and night in Miami. We certainly would have been able to schedule a plane home the same day, but I hate unnecessary rushing. Plus, I have cousins in the area and wanted to visit! We met for dinner at the Bayside Marketplace. A bit touristy…

Activities at the resort
Most days I just loved lounging on a chair or in a hammock, shaded by palm trees or umbrellas made of palm branches or one day a cabana with champagne! The kids enjoyed more activities like volleyball on the beach or in the water. One night we did karaoke, which was sooo funny. I could…
