Vacation in Coloardo!

Today started our first day of our 2 week vacation in Colorado!  We left yesterday and drove all day into Pueblo, Co and stayed the night there in a hotel then headed into Colorado Springs this morning.  The weather is beautiful!  It was pretty hot in the sun today while we were hiking at the Garden of the Gods but it doesn't stay hot long and the evenings are WONDERFUL!  
We had a great first day hiking and exploring Manitou Springs, where we are staying in a Bed and Breakfast for the week.  We actually weren't supposed to leave for our vacation until this Friday but my crazy husband figured out a way to leave early...I like crazy;)

We got some great pics today...enjoy!  Keep checking back because I hope to blog each night while I watch the Olympics:) Yay!  
I LOVE the Olympics...it makes me feel so motivated, so inspired...too bad the whole time I sit on my couch and right now I am eating dark chocolate M&M's AND sitting on the couch, hey they are dark chocolate, so much healthier right?:)  I am surely on my way to being an Olympian.   
lets get this party started!

full of energy...long drive ahead!

silly girl always builds a tent in the back seat to block out the sun and her brother:/  

Ready to climb the Garden of the Gods

Let's do this already!  Where are the trails?
*note to anyone whoever visits the gardens in the future: Do not go on the paved trails! God blaze your own, just park on the side of the road and go at it!  

Two kissing camels.  Not us!  The formations behind us...geesh:)

 Manitou Springs is very eccentric...we have seen some crazy things today.  This being the craziest.
