Colorado Springs

[otherearths_outthere]

Max and I just returned from a trip to see Son #3 and his family. He had been stationed in Seoul, South Korea and while he returned quite awhile back, we hadn't seen him except for a quick weekend in Chicago. We had a fantastic time. Two of my of my other sons had told me, "Mom if you ever go to Colorado, you won't ever want to leave". I knew it would be true. We loved it! We went up Pikes Peak, saw the Garden of the Gods, the Air Force Academy Chapel. There are deer in everybody's yards, prairie dogs, hawks, and of course bears, which we didn't get to see, but the kids have so many pictures of them just wandering thru their yard. We took our little granddaughter to a bowling alley (her idea!) the Children's Museum and as many parks as we could. There weren't any real crowds anywhere but the museum, so that was nice. We even did a little shopping...Max brought me these ridiculous, but highly appropriate socks.

Lovely family. It sounds like you had a great time. :)

thank you, we really did have a nice time. Jonathan is the kid who is closest to me in personality and temperament, so we enjoy each other tremendously. My DIL is absolutely wonderful and perfect for him.

Awww... Glad you liked Colorado!

oh it was wonderful.. I knew I would love it and even The Colonel is thinking it would be a great place to live. The plan has always been to fix up and sell the property, we are definitely getting too old to maintain it.
