Another trip down memory lane...

This was the second place we stopped at on our trip down south. It is called Garden of the Gods and it is outside Denver, CO. It was one of my fav spots. It was so beautiful to see these huge rock formations sticking out of the ground with all the greenery around it. It was really interesting.





This one is called The Lord's Prayer...


This one is Howling Wolves...


The next day we went to Seven Falls which is a place where there are literally seven waterfalls cascading down this mountain side all in the same river bed. They had an elevator that went half way up and than stairs so that you could climb to the top. Aysia and I climbed the 250 stairs to the top and my legs were BURNING, but it was a cool view! There was also this teepee that the kids had fun exploring.

Mid way up after the elevator ride...




Aysia and I happy to have reached the top...


The view from the top. Notice how small the people are down below and that is only half way up the falls...


The teepee...

What fun memories. We have so many amazing spots like that in our nation. I've never been there so thanks for the virtual travel experience.

Did you get any sleep last night?
