Weekend Getaway To CO SPRINGS!

Tim and I hit the road this weekend for a weekend trip before he begins to get really busy with his job. We had a great time!!!

In the worst way Wilson wanted to go along with us! But, he stayed at the cabin w/my family and had lots of fun playing with his best friend Max!
 The view from our hotel room! SO beautiful... golf course and the mountains, doesn't get much better!
 Tim made dinner reservations for us at the historic Briarhurst Manor. It was so cool, Tim discovered the "old home turned restaurant" on the tv show Ghost Hunters. It's supposedly "haunted." However, there weren't any ghost sightings for us. ;)
 Saturday morning we checked out Fort Carson.
 It was a very nice Army Base at the foot of the mountains. It was a large base, and most of the buildings were newly constructed, like this one...
 A view of the mountains from Ft Carson.
 Then, we went to Colorado City! Such a cute, quaint little town with a neat downtown.

 We had a yummy lunch at this cute little cafe in downtown Colorado City.
 From there, we headed up the mountain to Pikes Peak (the tallest mountain in CO)!!
 On our way up the mountain we saw big foot! ;)









 Can you see the big horn sheep??
 Yes, that's snow (in Spetember)! At the base of the mountain it was 75 degrees, but at the top it was a different story, 42 degrees!!!!




What a great weekend in CO!
