I made a quick trip to Colorado earlier this month to participate in the Travel Blog Exchange (TBEX) conference. (Yes, an entire fabulous conference just for travel bloggers or, as they so eloquently put it, new media travel writers.) The conference was held in Keystone, so we spent a few days in Denver too.
It was a great trip, but, as usual, it will take me awhile to get my journal completely posted. Those posts will be linked here as I complete them.

A Summer Night in Denver
We are staying just a few blocks from the Colorado State Capitol, so we begin there. That leaves us near the free bus that runs up and down the 16th Street Mall and provides a perfect base for a quick evening exploration of downtown.
