Colorado Springs, Garden of the Gods and Manitou Springs - May 19th


When B and I finally drug our selves into the house at 9AM, we found that Delilah and Sophia had been up since 6AM - going to be a long day! Rob cooked a great breakfast, and we all piled in to the RV (less Suzanne who had a Xerascape class to attend), and rolled off to Garden of the Gods - a remarkable place with beautiful vistas, great hiking trails, and climbing.

From there, headed to Manitou Springs, had a lunch in the RV and put the kids down for a nap, while we explored the town in turns. The town has the small town charm that we really enjoy, lots of funky shops - crystals, American Indian stuff, cool bookstores, great food (ok, so B and I snuck a shwarma sandwich while walking), and "Healing Springs". Then to old downtown Colorado Springs.

Tomorrow off to Boulder for more "small town charm", then to Denver for dinner at Casa Grande.
