Happy 2009!

For the seventh year running, we spent New Year’s eve in downtown Denver. It’s become quite a mini-tradition. This year, we decided to try the new Sheraton hotel in Denver (formerly the Adam’s Mark) instead of the Westin. Word to the wise… stick to the Westin. The only advantage of the Sheraton was that the fireworks were being shot off from its roof, so it was a good show. This was one of the warmest new year’s eves we’ve had, and we were able to catch the 9pm show outside. We were so close to the action that as the shells exploded, we got rained on by bits of paper used to wrap fireworks. It wasn’t fun to have that stuff rain down and getting in your eyes! Andrew had a blast, though – he really like the loud booms!
We stayed in the room for the midnight show, and got this image from the window.
