Thursday was spent at Colorado Springs and Manitou Springs. We rode up to the gate for Pike's Peak..opted not to do the drive because of time contraints. Headed back down to to Manitou...charming old town with eclectic shops and the old west flavor. He lunched at a natural food cafe and headed over to Garden of the Gods. That was quite an experience..u ride up a one way road and just as you round a corner, there right in front of you, are massive red rock formations jutting high into the blue sky. It was almost spiritual. We headed north towards Denver and stopped at the Air Force Academy. Massive campus. Once you clear the gate, it is a 4 mile drive just to the visitor's center.
Mountains are still covered in snow, which is amazing to me.
Friday we headed to Boulder. Not to sound jaded, but Boulder is alot like Asheville..cute little artsy town with street performers. Only difference is that its overpriced. Headed back to Denver and hit the water park. What can be said about that. massive in size, crowded with people, just a great place to be on a 'hot' day (relative-its 90 and no humidity). Tomorrow is Estes park and Rocky Mountain Park. Can't wait. Would love to spot a moose. Or mooses....
