Garden of the Gods

This afternoon, after making our way to Colorado Springs and collecting Madeline at the airport, we settled into the Antler Hilton. A long nap later, we saddled up the woody and made our way over to The Garden of the Gods, an outdoor park with fabulous red rock formations. We arrived as the sun was setting, and with the late sun on the red rock, the surrounding mountains, and greenery, it was just a beautiful place to end the day.

Of course, our day didn't quite end there. We toured Old Colorado City, and had a bite to eat at a Greek restaurant in this scenic village on the outskirts of Colorado Springs. We returned to the Antler Hilton, and after bundling up the woody for the night, we celebrated Colorado by breaking into the homemade cookies sent by my sister Maria. Now that was a beautiful way to end the day!

Wow, what a great story. Dick (my Dad) mentioned you might need a friendly driveway when you get to CA. We're just off Hwy 101 in Redwood City (the Whipple Avenue exit.) I work from home most of the time so just call or email if we can help.
