March 2008 - out to Colorado Springs



We headed out to visit our friends in Colorado Springs, and see some stuff along the way. Things were cold, and windy, so unfortunately, we all had various cough/cold/or other problems along the way. On the way out, we stopped at Meteor Crater which is a world class tourist trap - a hole in the ground that they put a fence around, and once you've driven the miles to get there, you find it's $20 per adult to get in... So you write it off as "well, I won't do this again", fork over the cash, and take some pictures of a hole, and a space rock... Look carefully - maybe you can save yourself some cash -


In Colorado Springs, we stayed with Rob, Suzanne and Sophia, and also visited Phil and Shannon and their two boys who came over for a great dinner. We also wandered around Manitou Springs, wandering the little shops, and eating at "The Heart of Jerusalem" for some darned fine Shwarma...




It snowed several times while we were there, including one night getting cold enough to grow several dozen foot or more long icicles off the front of the RV (wish I'd gotten a picture of that)...
The kids did do a little sledding and built a snow man, which was a great time while it lasted.
