Day 12 - Colorado School of Mines in Golden

---

Today we did a self guided tour of the Colorado School of Mines in Golden. Smaller campus with a focus on engineering. The chemical engineering building had a 3 story stained glass window called "flow." In the open green area Drew stood in front of a sculpture called "Of the Earth and Man" which represents the past, present, and future. After the tour we were ready for a visit to Coors Brewery (sodas for the boys of course) to see the cool kettles and new products coming out. We walked downtown Golden and then headed over to the Colorado Railroad Museum. Was only open for an hour but we got to see a lot of the equipment and the display inside the museum. Ended the day with a dinner with old friends.
