Colorado Springs

I had a follow up appointment with my Naturopathic doctor this June, and as it was right after our 6th anniversary, we decided to take a little vacation at the same time!

I had really wanted to go to Seven Falls - but was afraid I wouldn't be able to climb all those stairs to the top, and... well.... that would be so embarrassing! But my hubby had faith in me and we decided to go. First we climbed up the 184 steps to the Eagle's Nest to view all seven falls at once. We went back down those steps, took a little break so I could talk my self into it, then climbed the 224 steps to the top of the Falls! I made it! Had to take a few breaks - but so did most of the people, so I didn't feel too bad! It was so beautiful there. So peaceful listening to the water flowing! My legs were sore for a few days - but wow, what a view we had after that climb! It was so worth it!

We also went to see the Manitou Cliff Dwellings. Joe is always interested in Indian culture, so it was neat to go see how the Indians had made a home in the side of a cliff. I can't imagine, though, living in such a place. So thankful for modern conveniences such as A/C, heat, running water, etc!

My appointment went well and we did some shopping - of course!

Then our final destination was Pike's Peak! We figured that it would probably be much more pretty in the winter with all the snow, but we were in for a surprise! It was GORGEOUS! All the lush green trees, the sparkling blue lakes and reservoirs. Oh and the scent was heavenly! All those pines and other trees! We drove to the top and it was 34 degrees! Joe forgot to bring a jacket, so we didn't spend much time outside - just enough to take in the view and get a few pictures!

We had such a great time in Colorado! A great place to celebrate our 6 years together! I love having adventures with my hubby! I hope there are many more adventures in the many more years we have together!
