11 years

 Mike and I celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary this past weekend!  Mike arranged for us to see an exhibit that positioned exact replicas of Michelangelo and DaVinci side by side. Here's an excerpt from the website:

"The exhibition is on loan from the Museum of Leonardo DaVinci in Florence, Italy, and contains over 60 hand-crafted exhibits, half of which are interactive, all made by 3rd generation craftsmen. Each exhibit is a replica built from Leonardo's 500 year old designs. The exhibition is grouped into four themes: war machines, flying machines, nautical and hydraulic machines and mechanics. The interactive machines are a popular aspect of each exhibition as visitors can touch and handle these models to gain a first-hand appreciation of how they work. Explanatory notes and illustrative panels, with Leonardo's drawings from his codices, accompany each exhibit."

exhibits

Though it's not original, it is a certified replica which was
pretty neat to see.

I am wearing the button necklace Mackenzie made me for our
anniversary.
We headed over to Yard for dinner before walking the 16th street
mall of downtown Denver.
