Before leaving for Alaska I enjoyed a dinner and walk with the family. Due to Kelcy's housing situation Steve, Tucker and I booked an airbnb and our host graciously allowed us to park our truck and trailer in her driveway while we were gone.
It was snowing when we left Denver and the temperature had plummeted 40 degrees from the day we arrived. Alaska greeted us with black ice and rain. We received a warmer welcome from friends and family and enjoyed catching up and some leisurely evenings.
We had two days in Denver and on a recommendation from our airbnb we visited the Kirkland Museum of Fine and Decorative Art. Walking through the exhibits we met the director of the museum, Hugh A. Grant, preparing for an upcoming lecture. He graciously took the time to share some history about Vance Kirkland, the artist who had purchased the original museum building and later established an art school. It is one of the most unusual museums I had been to and well-worth a return visit.
