Gastrobar Olijf
2024 Jul 02
I stopped by Olijf for an afternoon snack and had an enjoyable experience. The wine and food were right on time as I meandered through town exploring the shops and quaint parks. The service was attentive and not overbearing; it was just right. I definitely recommend stopping in for a snack, drink, and/or meal when visiting Sittard.
I had a wonderful stay at The Charter Hotel in Seattle this past June 2023. I flew in for my summer holiday in the US and this hotel was my first stay. The property is well maintained and appointed stylishly. The rooms are very comfortable and spacious. I especially enjoyed the ample amount of space in the room to move around and the size of the bathroom. The shower was perfect too - great water pressure and temperature control. The rooftop restaurant and bar served delicious food and generous pours while providing excellent views of the harbor. I enjoyed many sunsets from that view during my stay. The location is prime - a few blocks from the market, original Starbucks, Nordstroms, and many surrounding neighborhoods. When I am back in Seattle, I will be staying here!
Molly Brown House Museum
2023 Nov 14
My Mom and I stopped in for a tour and learned about Molly Brown and her life's journey. Yes she was a guest on the Titanic, but she was also a champion of local life and development in Denver. The house is well preserved with artifacts from her time spent in the house while telling her story. We enjoyed learning about her activism in the local communities and the effects of it today. If you are a history buff, or just looking to learn a little more about one person's life in Denver, check out the Molly Brown house!
Denver Art Museum
2023 Nov 04
My parents and I spent the afternoon touring the Denver Art Museum and had a fantastic experience. From the architecture of the museum to the views of downtown and the Rocky Mountains, the space is inviting and inclusive. We were able to borrow a museum wheelchair for my mom to access the museum while my dad took advantage of the portable seating. The galleries featured extensively artwork of native and local artists while adding to a more traditional collection. I appreciated the care that went into curating the exhibits too. My mom especially enjoyed the textiles. You can definitely spend an afternoon, an entire day, or days exploring all that the museum has to offer. I know I will be back during my next adventure in Denver to take in even more!
History Colorado Center
2023 Oct 30
My parents and I visited the History Colorado Center in March 2023 and had an enjoyable time. While we were there, there was a naturalization ceremony occurring in the main atrium which was special to witness as this museum celebrates one of the great states of the United States of America. I appreciated the museums commitment to honoring all voices of Colorado and not just those of white people. You could see throughout the exhibits the many diverse stories that make up the state's history. I also enjoyed learning a bit more about Denver's history from a small town to booming metropolitan area. This museum is definitely a must visit while in town to learn more about the great state of Colorado!
