Today we made the switch from central to mountain time on our way up to Denver, saying goodbye to Texas and traveling into New Mexico and Colorado. Denise who has never been to Colorado was not allowed to drive today because she spent the whole time ooh-ing over the landscape, which isn’t even the real mountains yet, and taking about 500 pictures of the same thing over and over again. But it was definitely a nice change from the super flatness of Texas. We were getting just a little tired of it.
Another peanut butter and jelly picnic was enjoyed on our drive today, followed by slurpees and slim jims at a 7-11 in Colorado Springs!! We also took our first detour this afternoon and made our way to the Garden of the Gods. Not too hard to find, either, with lots of signs pointing the way from the highway. It was absolutely gorgeous! We even made the circle around twice, because we couldn’t find the way out, haha.
We are staying the next two nights with Denise’s teammate Katie and are totally excited to hit the town tomorrow. Katie is going to show us all over the place, so long as she doesn’t get us all lost in the mountains. It’s gonna be an adventure, we can’t wait!
Peace out L-town
Lo, D, Eliz
