Day 6 - Denver, CO to Colorado Springs, CO

Left the motel at 8:10 and headed out for a Starbucks and an Einstein’s bagel. Having retrieved both, we stopped at a park in Castle Pines for breakfast. The rest of the drive into The Springs was uneventful.

Since it was early and we figured our room wasn’t available yet, we did a little tour of our old stomping grounds. First off we headed up to Peregrine to see the house we built in 1995. Appears someone is taking a lot better care of the yard than I did. Next we drove through Garden of the Gods. Don't pass this drive up when in The Springs. Then a short drive over to Old Colorado City for an hour plus window shopping walk. Half the time was spent in Michael Garman’s gallery. Another place you must visit if ever in the area.

Since it was getting close to noon we headed to Jose Muldoon’s, which is just about the best Mexican restaurant in The Springs. Lunch was Dos Equis Amber and nachos. Doesn’t get any better. More window shopping and then we were back to the motel for a little rest before meeting friends for dinner. Splitting burgers and beers (ok, we didn’t split the beers) finished the evening. Yes, as you may have noticed, it was too late to put anything on the blog.

Tomorrow morning will be maintenance, which means washing clothes and car. After that just driving around to see how much the place as grown/changed in 7+ years. 105 miles today.
