Our last day of the trip started with us having breakfast at the hotel buffet, before driving to the Denver Art Musuem. The Denver Art Museum contains over 70000 pieces of work spanning across multiple buildings. The museum’s origin can be traced back to 1893 when the Denver Artists Club was formed. In 1971 the museum moved into the Martin Building, designed by Gio Ponti. In 2006 the museum expanded into the Duncan Pavilion and the Hamilton Buidling.

For lunch we stopped by Roaming Buffalo Bar-B-Que. I had the Real McCoy BBQ sandwich, which was a huge mistake. It was so large that I could barely finish it, and I ended up not even having dinner because of how full it made it.

We then drove to the Wings Over The Rockies Air & Space Museum satellite location to explore some old war bird planes that were visiting for the week. I even got to climb through an old B17 Bomber.

We still had some time to kill before heading to the airport to fly home to Calgary, so we stopped by the nearby Vehicle Vault Museum. There was an excellent collection of classic vehicles from the very early 1900’s, all the way through to modern vehicles.

It was now time to head to the airport. Denver Airport is probably just about the worst airport experience I’ve had in all of my travels, with exception to Nairobi, Kenya. Why? They only have two security areas; Security North and Security South. The lineups for both are multiple hours, so unless you have a priority pass you’re likely not going to make your flight, even if you show up two hours before your flight. Even TSA Pre-Check lines are extremely long, so forget about that. Luckily my dad has priority pass, so we were able to breeze on through, but it was no obvious where you needed to go right away. After passing security you must take a train from the Main Terminal to your terminal of departure, which is also another bottleneck. Luckily the main terminal is trying to do something to fix this problem, but it’s years in the making. I’m sure the terminal design made complete sense before 9/11 when there wasn’t the need for security.
