Pikes Peak

 A couple weekends ago we went down to Colorado Springs for a weekend.  We got there Friday night and checked into the hotel.  Colorado Springs is only an hour away, but we thought staying in a hotel would make it fun.  We swam in the pool and then went to sleep.  Early the next morning we headed up to get on the train that goes to up to Pikes Peak.  You can drive to the top, but we thought the train would be fun.  It was fun and the kids were pretty good.

The ride was about 1 hour and 15 minutes.  When we got to the top, it was much colder than we thought it would be.  The wind didn't help.  The kids and I stayed out for about 5 minutes and then headed into the little lodge area with food and souvenirs.  We had hot chocolate and warm donuts.  Yum.
Here we are at the top.  It was a great morning in Colorado!

I really want to go and take the train ride, looks like so much fun! You think it's too late and too cold?
