We're Back!

Golfer had a couple back-to-back business trips and I got to go along on the last one when he went out to Colorado Springs. We lived there for about four years and loved the area. This first picture tells why. Clear air, beautiful mountain (Pikes Peak)

The day we arrived it was almost 70 out. The next morning it was about 20 and snowing. The third morning it was about 10. We had packed sensibly and had warm clothes to layer so we were fine. We had forgotten how strong the winds could be though and at times it was difficult to walk in a straight line!

We went to all our favorite places and drove around enjoying the scenery. We also visited with some friends and ate at several excellent restaurants.

These cold fish are at Seven Falls. When we lived in Colorado and would go there, Bikini and Nurse J liked to feed the fish. The white part is ice.

We drove through Garden of the Gods and Cheyenne Canyon Park. Took a trip to Cripple Creek. In the mid-70's when we were there it was a quaint old mining town. Now it is touristy gambling establishments and little shops. But the area around it is still gorgeous!

We had a fun evening at the "Flying W Ranch" with a wonderful steak dinner and great cowboy music.

Golfer got his work done.

We visited Royal Gorge and the Air Force Academy and hunted the places where we used to live.

All in all we had a wonderful trip. I will close with the tradtional family photo of a potty break!

Stay safe!
