Well, when I said I didn’t know if I’d be able to post until after vacation, I didn’t realize that some of the places we’d be staying in would have free internet access. Lucky you (and me?).

After a long but acceptable drive yesterday morning, we got to our hotel. For the rate we are getting, it’s pretty impressive. The room is a suite with a full kitchenette. The only downside is the lack of a second bed, so two of us are on a sofa sleeper. Also, I found out that Dylan is here too, and was actually in Garden of the Gods today as well. Talk about irony.

Ok, I’ll move on to the things people might care about. Pictures!

Me, my mom, and my sister Sheena in Garden of the Gods.

An example of my dad playing with his new digital camera. I rather like the results.

This is Sheena and me under a formation called Balanced Rock that I can still remember from my first trip to Colorado Springs when I was eight.

Seven Falls is where we spent the last part of our day. I also remember a little of this from last time. It’s a lot of steps to climb to the top…

This isn’t actually one of the seven falls. It’s a place called Midnight Falls and it’s on a trail towards the top of the mountain, above Seven Falls.

We also planned to try and take the Cog Railway up to the top of Pike’s Peak, but we couldn’t fit it in today. By the time we got there, all the trains for the day were booked. We’ll be getting up early and going at 8am. If I have internet access again later, you might get to see them sooner rather than later. Alright, we’re getting up early, so now it’s bedtime. Oh yeah, this post is on Mountain Time (in case you were wondering).

Currently Playing: The Legend of Bagger Vance (It was on TV. It’s also a good book.)

Edit: So I realized those pics probably screwed up the page layout. I’ll fix it later. Just enjoy the pictures.
