Going to be in Boulder, CO over Thanksgiving, list some activities

[bleedingheart]

we are visiting my in-laws with our kids in tow...what are good non-skiing activities for that time?
Any cool places to see?
Meeting some DUers for lunch would even be great!!

1. Lunch??

Sounds good to me! I'll drive to Boulder - or you come to Denver

[bleedingheart]

2. cool..

perhaps your coming to Boulder would be better since I am completely unfamiliar with the area...
( my in-laws have lived there 10 years...and I have never visited before..)

7. You could vandalize a few SUV's.....

...fun for the whole family.

In the early 80's Boulder was the greatest place in America - real laid back, lots to do. Nowadays you're either going shopping or you're hiding from the horrendous traffic.

[bleedingheart]

8. hmmm...nope...not enough money for bail..

so the traffic is bad? I am not sure where my in-laws live in relation to downtown Boulder but is it walkable???

[greendog]

9. Yeah, downtown is pretty pedestrian friendly.....

....also, if you enjoy hiking and the weather's good, you could check out Chautauqua Park....lot's of trails up by the Flatirons.

10. Drive up Boulder Canyon

to Nederland, Co. and drop by the Acoustic Coffeehouse for a cup. Check to see if anyone is playing there, they host bluegrass and acoustic music. The drive up the canyon is beautiful, and Ned is a funky little town to explore.
Miles of trails to hike along Boulder Creek and the Flatirons. Then there's always the Pearl Street Mall. Not a real "mall" but a closed off street with lots of eclectic shops. Check the paper for music shows if that your thing, Boulder gets some excellent music.
