A few weeks ago, we took a four day road trip to Colorado Springs for an extended family adventure with my in-laws. Here are the first couple of days in pictures….
Logically, let’s start with day 1 of our Griswald style family vacation (no, I’m not trying to steal that line from the Pioneer Woman…there were some aspects of this little trip that gave a definite Cousin Eddie vibe, although those pictures may not make today’s post…):
First stop: Garden of the Gods – one of the coolest places on earth
Not a big fan of being stuck on that rock.
It was windy. I think he's trying to keep her from blowing away.
Again with the wind!
Ahhhh....Balanced Rock - one of our favorites!
I was fascinated by the exposed root structures on the trees....
There's one child....
Ah! There's the rest of them! 🙂
They appear to be backing away from the edge....
That's my whole heart wandering around up on that rock.
I don't imagine this guy enjoyed his visit to Garden of the Gods as much as we did.
Driving through the night does weird things to your perception of time. I don’t remember what all else we did that day. Perhaps swim in the non-heated heated swimming pool? We enjoyed dinner on the patio at Amanda’s Fonda. Then we went back to the cabin and tried to get kids to sleep. Finally, around 10, I think we were successful. And Matt and I, in our delirium, stumbled into bed ourselves.
