Dolphins @ Broncos 9/13/99   Broncos 21   Dolphins 38  

Another trip to Mile high and the season opener against the great Dan Marino. John Elway's retirement ceremony

was somewhat dampened by Dan & Co.. Joey and Marlene make their second trip to Denver to see their team.

 

A quick sightseeing trip for Joey & Marlene to Morrison and Red Rocks Amphitheater and then to downtown Golden for the Coors Brewery tour.

Red Rocks Amphitheater, I forget who was in town to perform.
