We spent last weekend and part of last week up in Colorado Springs. We had delayed the trip a couple of weeks due to the hurricane. Finally, I got to ride an airplane again! There is nothing like an apple juice on the rocks!
We found out hotel, unpacked and then headed back out to do some sight seeing. We headed up into the mountains and enjoyed the fresh air and view.
A short, little hike.
Seven Step Waterfall
Cheese!!!
After a long day...
zzzzzzzz.
Garden of the Gods.
Since I am about to completely give up my diaper, I had to find a quiet corner :)
Mountain climbers were climbing up and down all over the big rocks.
Babba and I also tried to climb a little, but we didn't get that far up.
One cool dude! Check out my moves! I tried on all the caps and then did my little dance up and down the aisle!
Pikes Peak! 14,110 ft!
We decided to drive all the way up to the top. We had to drive slowly and it took around an hour to reach the top. At around 11,500ft, I started feeling bad and just got worse as we made our way up the mountain. It was the altitude that got to me. So,
babba took a few pics and we rushed back down the mountain side. Slowly, I started feeling better again.
Half way down, we came by this gorgeous spot. Pikes Peak is in the back ground, to the left with some snow.
Of course, we paid Santa and the North Pole a visit.
Babba and I were Vikings in the toy store!
We ended up riding most of the rides.
And drove the cars, trains and ski lift too.
We paid Santa a visit. I had talked about Santa all morning, but when I sat in his lap and he asked if I had been a good boy and what I wanted for Christmas, I wouldn't utter a word. I just sat and looked at him!
We stopped for some mini golf on our way home.
Babba won and
mamma and I shared the second place. I hit the ball once and if it didn't roll close enough to the hole, I just picked it up and placed it a couple of inches away from the hole and hit again. Of course, I scored a lot of "2s" and even got an (honest) hole in one.
What better than ending such a good day at Hooters? The girls were so sweet and friendly with me. I received a balloon and a little rubber duck. Again, I ended up being very shy around them.
Royal Gorge Bridge.
The world's steepest incline railway took us down to the Arkansas river.
The bridge is way up there.
Mamma and I waiting for the rail to take us back up.
Back up on top and enjoying the view. Unfortunately,
babba's camera broke and we had to get a disposable camera. The quality is therefore not the greatest. If you look closely at the photo, you'll see a little red dot. This is the aerial tram,
traveling over the river.
Here is the bridge itself. Built in 1929, flooring is wooden planks with little gaps between them... a nice, little reminder that it's only 1200 ft down!
Babba tried the
Skycoaster.
Long ways down to the river!
After passing bison, elk, riding a horse, we came to a cowboy city.
We visited all the houses.
And we saw this angry man in the jail.
Babba and I taking a break in the out house.
Crossing the bridge!
The day is just not complete with out a train ride.
And paying the big train a visit!
US
Air force Academy. We saw
at least 10 different kinds of airplanes.
Five days, full of activities, car rides, walks...I was worn out and passed out. It was nice to relax out in the fresh air, on the top of a little mountain/park.
When we finally made it to the airport in the afternoon, I was so wound up from the anticipation of getting to ride an airplane again and I was well rested too. Nothing could calm me down. I spoke non stop during the two hour flight home. Two whole hours about plans, cars, busses, trains, santa og other things, we saw. What a great vacation!
