Jenny & Jeremy come to Colorado!

The end of June, Jenny & Jeremy drove out to see us as part of their big road trip to also see Arizona! We had a great time with them, and they were here for my birthday! In just a couple short days, we managed to see some of the big highlights in Colorado Springs, including Garden of the Gods, the Manitou Cliff Dwellings, and going to the top of Pikes Peak! We also had a great time just hanging out and enjoying relaxing times around the fire pit in the backyard.

A trip to Colorado Springs is really not complete without visiting Garden of the Gods!

Riding the cog railroad to the top of Pikes Peak!








arriving at the top!




Natalie can't really see, but we're up there!


So yes, if you're curious, even in the middle of summer, the top of Pikes Peak is still chilly...you can pretty much expect it to be 30 degrees cooler than whatever the temp is in the city...

Looking down at our city (and if you look closely, you can see Garden of the Gods)...

Very nice shots... How much is it to ride up to the top of the peak?

With Jenny's amazing skills in coupon-finding, I think it was $20 per person...can be as high as $30 or $35 I believe
