After a one hour drive we arrived in Colorado Springs and headed to Garden of the Gods for our final touring spot. Although this spot to me is small and you can drive through it rather quickly and once you've seen, you've seen the outdoorsy type person could probably spend hours and days hiking and climbing and just hanging out in this location. It was really windy all weekend and it was no different when we got here. We stopped quickly at the tourist center and looked around and took some pictures. We decided to do our scenic route via the car. We drove around and let Dan's parents take pictures and check out the rocks. We did stop at one location and walked around a little bit, however, none of us had shoes for hiking, my sandals were not cutting it in this terrain.
We had a 2 hour drive back to our house and our mini-vacation was over. It was a fantastic Memorial Weekend and I hope that my in-laws enjoyed it. I was happy to still have another day off of work to enjoy a nice long weekend. Of course their vacation was not over. They were in town to watch our kids for the week since our daycare was closed so it was now time to put them to work! I enjoyed being the tour guide and setting all of this up. It's not too often I get to do trip planning.
