Hi everyone!
Sorry I haven't written in a bit, but internet connections have been in and out while we've been in the mountains. We've had a lot of great times since my last post.
After Bakersfield we headed to Colorado Springs. It was absolutely beautiful there. The mountains were everywhere we looked! Our best experience by far was our trip to the Garden of the Gods. The natural rock formations were breathless. The kids were able to use this as a field trip and learned all sorts of wonderful facts about the rocks and plants we encountered. Colin received a gift from the Gods while on top of a mountain. He found a $10 bill right on the rock! After spending a couple of hours hiking through the trails, we headed to the town of Manitou Springs and did some more sightseeing and souvenir shopping.
From Colorado, we headed to Farmington NM. Lets just say I was taught that if I had nothing good to say about something, don't say anything at all. So there you have it, lol! At least it was only one night!
