We're done

It is only fitting that the below picture was my final picture of our Colorado vacation.  I know my good friends George and Betsy would think seeing a waterfall was a good way to end a vacation.  This waterfall was just outside of Colorado Springs up a winding road..Cheyenne Canyon Road I believe.

Air Force Academy Chapel

All of these photos are at the Air Force Academy chapel in Colorado Springs.  There were several different areas in the chapel... Christian, Budda, Jew and I can't remember what else.

Garden of the Gods

While in Colorado Springs you have to go see the Garden of the Gods.  Sadly we were there on a weekend and it was so crowed that we didn't get to stop a see a lot.  There were NO parking places anywhere. The pictures below are essentially all the pictures I got while in there.

Headed to Colorado Springs

After the Royal Gorge we headed to Colorado Springs to meet one of Patti's cousins for dinner.  We decided to take a back road because we thought it would be pretty.   It was very pretty along  the way BUT it was so wash-boarded in places that it would shake your teeth out.  I was driving down the road when I got a glimpse of something in the road so I stopped and backed up and the little fellow below was what I had seen.  Of course I pulled up a little and got out and went back to pester him.  It didn't take a lot to get him mad and rattling...just a few pebbles dropped on him. :)


As you can see from the other pictures it was very beautiful.  It would have been so much more enjoyable if it hadn't been so rough.  However, we still got to Colorado Springs in time to meet her cousin.
