Last Thursday Eric and i went on a date night to the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. They were having a Summer Solstice Celebration, and I thought it was great opportunity for Eric and i to get some alone time, and geek out a little bit. The museum had a Mesoamerican Archaeologist explain why the Mayan culture loved the sun so much, and why they did sacrifices (human and animal). We then went to the terrace were we had an AMAZING view.
We also had a couple of drinks (a tequila sunrise for me, along with Stonehenge)
and looked through the telescope they had set up (by the time it was my turn, the clouds were covering the sun) so i didn't see anything, but we did get to see the sun through the sunspoter though, that was cool. 
They had tables set up where you could make your own sun catcher & Sun Dials. We got to enjoy the space area of the museum without a bunch of other people, Eric even got to play with the space ship docking station.
