Vacation Sidetrip - Eureka

Who would go to Erueka, you might have wondered as you looked at the post title?  We would!  Porter Rockwell's cabin, built in 1865 and located in Cherry Creek, was moved to Main Street Eureka and fixed up.  You can go inside, sign the register, and look around.  I can't vouch for the authenticity of any of the furnishings, but it all looks very old timey.  The kids were rather obsessed with the bear skin on the top bunk.  Merritt dared me to touch its eye, which I totally did!

 Here is the cabin.  As old as it is, its in waaaay better shape than most the buildings on Main Street.

Here we are at the doorway the divides the two rooms of the cabin.  Square footage is a wondrous luxury!

Finally, here is a video just because it is funny.  

Yes, I really did try and spit shine Grant's face.  It's funny how things come full circle...I hated it when my mom did that to me but now I see that sometimes spit and a thumb is all a mother's got!
