My husband and I live in Texas and we are considering moving to Colorado in about 2 or 3 years, but where is a good place to raise kids?( We have an 11 and a 7 year old) I'll be an RN, and my husband is a welder, and we want to get involved in outdoor activities like hiking, biking, jogging, white water rafting, and snow boarding..I was thinking Fort Collins. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
Answer
It all depends on what you're looking for. Fort Collins is a little bit of a college town, what with CSU. But it's still good. I grew up in littleton, a suburb outside of Denver, and I loved it. The schools are great (best in CO). It's close enough to Denver that you can get into a city, but its not too overwhelmingly close. Highlands Ranch is nice too. Colorado is pretty great in general. Even in the Burbs people are really active. Plus there's the platte. My friends and I used to go tubing every weekend in the summer there. There's also lots of families in Littleton. You might try Golden, too, which is closer to the mountains, but still has really good schools, while not being too far from Denver. Boulder is interesting too, if you're okay with college towns. You also might like the Highlands. It's a very young neighborhood, with lots of people in their late 20's-30's. It's probably the hippest neighborhood in CO, but people still bike a lot there.
Good luck! You'll love Colorado. It's such a great place!

Do you know any good museums over there? I'm from the east coast so i'm willing to travel.
I know what travel, i just wanted your opinion.
Answer
the nature and science museum in Denver is good. There are also great natural places to go and see. The garden of the Gods is good. Right now a drive up the mountains is great because of the fall colors. There are lots of great hiking and biking trail here. When are you coming? Down in southern Colorado is the Great Sand Dunes, that is about a 3 hour drive south of Denver, but great to see. The Air Force Academy is on Colorado springs. There are lots of lakes, and camping in the state. If you like the city, Denver has a great night life downtown for all types of fun. There also a butterfly pavilion, and an Aquarium, and a great zoo. There is also a six flags amusement park, and a water world here. This all depends on what you want to see and if you have family or singles or kids with you. Let me know if you have any more questions. I have been living here for a few years.
