Hello, It’s me the Funny One. Me and my sister watched Sylvester Stallone movies today. We watched Rocky, Rocky 2 and the Expendables. He really is talented. Rocky Balboa is a really likeable character. I really need to get a job in a pet shop! I’m going to have to watch the rest of the Rocky movies soon.
Today’s state is Colorado. The picture is of me in a hot air balloon, I’m not alone in it as you can see. Hehehehe. The hot air balloon rides take place in the morning, and you can see some of the most wonderful views of Colorado. There’s even a post-flight champagne toast. Mmmmm champagne. Who doesn’t like champagne?

There’s the One Hundred Gold Mine Tour. In 1872, the three Neigold brothers arrived from Germany and staked their claim on the “Number Seven” vein. Reinhard, Gustave, and Otto Neigold then spent the next 30 years prospecting and developing the veins on Galena Mountain. Either before or after the tour, you can pan for real silver, gold and semi-precious gemstones in the sluice boxes outside the mine. And the best bit is that you get to keep what you find!
There’s the Molly Brown House Museum, the home of Titanic survivor Margaret Tobin Brown.

The Off-site traveling programs will include mining, the industrial revolution, the science of restoration, and civic activism.
