It is now an offical habit that we start the day splitting a Einstein bagel. Then it was back to the hotel to wait for the weather to warm up just a little. Not really used to cold mornings.
We tested Interstate 25 South to see what the traffic might be like when we leave in two days. Not bad, moving a lot better than I thought it would. Next up was to getting gas, which was just a bit less expensive than at home. Then it was off to The Garden of the Gods.
So today's post is going to be mostly about The Garden of he Gods. Colorado Springs has the Air Force Academy, the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Training Center, Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame, nearby 14,110 foot Pickes Peak and many other worthy attractions. But for me, The Garden of the Gods tops them all. All of the following photos can be enlarged by clicking. But first a video.

The photos represent just a small part of the park. Paths wind through the area and you ony realize the height of these slabs of pink sandstone and limestone they are when you are actualy among them.
We took another drive up around Peregrine and then headed to lunch. Needing something on the healthy side opted for salad and soup at Olive Garden.
Barb did some housekeeping (also known a laundry), while I worked on getting the photos ready for the Blog.
Had a great time at dinner tonight at Jose Muldoon's. Joining us were three very, very good friends from my working days. Talking about the old days brought back a lot of memories.
Tomorrow we have no plans, so will be starting with a clean slate.
