Colorado Springs Vacation '12

The kids and me at Garden of the Gods

Over Father's Day weekend, last month,  we vacationed to Colorado Springs and did the local tourist thing.  We visited Garden of the God's, Cave of the Winds, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo and drove up Pikes Peak for a 14,000 foot view of our state.  It was a wonderful trip and great to get away for a few days.  A week after we got back the area we had just visited was overcome by one of the worst wildfires our state has seen in almost 10 years.  Some of the areas we had just visited were threatened by the Waldo Canyon Fire, and other were safe.  We felt lucky to have visited and made the memories we did, and are praying for all those affected.
