Days Inn Colorado Springs South

... Skippy to Annie's house. Flynn was at wrestling practice, so we gave Annie all the "care and feeding" instructions. I hope we didn't overwhelm her with TMI. Spent a restful night at the motel; really needed it -- we were exhausted. I hope we can sleep as well on the long flight!

... snowshoeing tours are given so you are able to take in Colorado's natural wonders. Snowmass also features an indoor paintball area, a NASTAR course, and tube town. Snowmass resort or aspen condo rental has something for everyone to do and enjoy.<br><br><br>

Today Frank stayed home to make us his famous pork chili. Takes hours of love and we were all grateful. Antonio went for another long marathon training run. Chuck, Hector &amp; Diana went foraging for Jack In The Box, an Apple store and a double feature ;) "Couples Retreat" &amp; "Whip It" both good and more importantly cheap. Only $6.50 and you know we did the 2 fer 1 cause we're geto(boys) like that. Made it back to home base in time to see Dollhouse and feast on dinner. Great day for all.

... the first turns of the season, skiers and snowboarders will have access to a top-to-bottom run consisting of 1,000 vertical feet via Chair 1. The trails Catwalk, Mambo and Homerun make up this opening day run which is over a mile in length. When this news came in to the Ski Country office ...

... town called Manitou Springs by way of Hwy 24. Such cute shops and restaurants, I wish we could've spent more time there. We took Hwy 24 a few more miles to Pike's Peak. P.P. is very historical. Back in the day, gold prospectors would cross the country on long trips via dangerous trails with the words "Pike's Peak or Bust" written on their wagons! The whole entire area of P.P. is so cute...very touristy but not overdone or ...

With our van loaded, we traveled to Colorado Springs. Right before the border with Colorado we drove through a thunderstorm. It was something I've never experienced before. The kids were asleep, amazing! <br>We stayed in the building where Ted's work is. It has a little apartment with a little kitchen and bathroom area. <br>2 days later it was my birthday. We spent the day in an outdoor swimming pool with Amy and Ella. It was a lot ...

... we waited another 1/2 hour or so until they opened and found out that it could not be repaired and he would have to send away under his insurance and have it replaced. A phone call and more than 50 bucks later one was being priority mailed to us hopefully the next day. ($50 dollar deductible for a replacement of a $500 phone)? We then ventured on to Manitou Springs. Which was a beautiful little craft person village. Silver, Indian crafts, rugs ...

... of gas is getting ridiculously expensive in the USA - seems like it is in every country now! Our trip to Colorado was pretty uneventful and Jenni, Jordan and Joshua met us at the airport. They live about an hours drive from the airport in Denver, so again some good catch up time in the car. It was interesting to see Jordan and Joshua again, they are getting so grown up (14 and 12)! I noticed that they are so quiet too, not quite what I ...

... consulter un panneau explicatif pour pouvoir identifier les 7 chutes. Un ascenseur construit dans le rock nous amenait sur un promontoir pour la prise de photos et un escalier de 225 marches nous amenait au haut des chutes pour d'autres photos. Deux boutiques de souvenirs nous attendaient au bas des marches ; on s'est limité aux photos et l'exercice pour monter les marches(les hommes seulement). Notre consolation a été la ...

... everyone now knows. This Travelogue will continue to be a outlet for my pre-departure emotions. Because there is so much preparation prior to leaving on a (first) two-year trip around the world, this will have stories about all the exciting planning, purchasing, and pokes (vaccinations) in the coming year. I will also be including some pictures and stories of the short trips I will be taking to see family, in the next 9 months.
