Westminster, Colorado Rings The Right Chimes 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( Jun 24, 2010) In order to tell you how I feel about Westminster, CO, allow me to first tell you how my visit came to be.

While stationed at Fort Huachuca Arizona I became interested in butterflies. After retiring from the Army I took a trip in April 2009, to a few places that cater for watch ...Read More ers like me. One of those places was 'The Butterfly Pavillion' in the city of Westminster Colorado.

Getting to Westminster was easy, only about 15 minutes outside of Denver on a well maintained highway.(Which if you travel as much as I do, you'll know how important that is). I travel in an R.V. for the convenience, occassionaly I must stop the wheels for awhile and stay on land. Several people I spoke with were staying in the local hotels and so I decided to stay at the Residence Inn for 3 days. Very nice place, wonderful staff and convenient to the roadways.

While in Westminster, I also took in the wonderful Armed Forces Tribute Garden. Locals expressed their respect for the Armed Forces in a truly beautiful way. Thank you, from a veteran.

Last night in Westminster, I laughed myself silly at the Wits End Comedy Club. Great Visit, just thinking about my travel experience to the city of Westminster puts a smile on my face. Read Less
