Around here, we have a fine affinity for Colorado, Denver in particular. After having lived there for a short while (too short, perhaps), we came to appreciate so many things we hadn’t taken the time to notice before. And now we’re fortunate to have four good reasons to go back :: the hubs’ brother, wife and two daughters found themselves relocating to our stomping grounds – and we decided to take a visit over the Labor Day weekend to revisit some of our favorite places, explore new ones, and spend time together.
While we had flown through DIA on several occasions, it was our first real opportunity to put our feet back on the rocky soil and breathe the sweet, dry air. Little Man loved seeing the mountains, as he was too young to remember living so near them; and we had fun telling him stories of the time we spent at football games in Boulder, visiting flea markets around the city, and his favorite park where we’d feed the ducks and geese.
Saturday found us in Colorado Springs with a few things to do, and we took a little time to grab lunch and visit the Garden of the Gods. Most of us had visited before, and the kiddos thought it was great fun and reveled at the formations, the technical climbers, and the abundant warm sunshine.
We really enjoyed our time being back. Hopefully, it won’t be so long the next time before we visit again….
