If there is one great thing about living in Colorado its the great access to just about anything outdoors that you could want to do. That and you only almost feel like there is pressure to do stuff outside here because the mountains are so amazing.
Our first weekend here after moving out of the hotel and into our actual apartment we were pretty tired of unpacking and looking at boxes. So, we headed down to Colorado Springs and saw great Colorado scenary. Nothing too strenuous was undertaken that day, mainly lots of driving and picture taking. We took the Cog Railway to the top of Pikes Peak (14, 110 feet). Amazingly enough it was in the upper 80's at the base, but we actually saw some snow flurries from the top! Check out the cool panorama from the top:
Since we already had driven all the way down to Pikes Peak, we figured we might as well hit Garden of the Gods. In a nut shell, its a public park around these cool red rock formations. Incidently it got its name from a surveyor who thought it would make a great place for a Beer Garden (is there anything beer can't do?)! Although we didn't get to spend much time there before a storm approached we did get a few good pics...
Needless to say we were very happy with our first weekend.
P.S. Eventually I'm going to actually catch up to the present day, but for now you're just going to have get used to reading about our past freakishly tall adventures. Blame Qwest DSL for taking a week and a half to send us our DSL modem.
