Hi there! It’s the last official vacation of the year… I cannot believe we’re already deep in September, and yet, here we are.
At 4:00am the day started and well, it was full of mishaps. Despite the snags, we arrived at Logan with enough time for Chris to get a coffee from a robot and for me to eat my traditional overnight oats breakfast. Watched the movie, “My Old Ass,” on the plane. I highly recommend it. I cried.
We rolled into Denver early, picked up the Kia Niro (which drives itself!) and headed to Manitou Springs. On the way we ate our first tacos at a strip mall in a town called, Centennial…
Once we got to Manitou we headed straight to Garden of the Gods to hike. So bee-yoo-tee-full…
When that was done we checked into the classic and creepy Cliff House Inn. The room reminded me of the Captain’s Suite in Widows Bay, but nothing weird happened, save for the entire shower situation.
Manitou Springs is a cute town. Full of hippies and artist cooperatives, chocolate stores and touristy t-shirt shops. We ate at a place called, Mona Lisa Fondue where you cook your own food. No clue where they got the name…
Next day we packed up, got a buttload of BBQ from this awesome roadside place, and are taking the scenic route to Great Sand Dunes… love you, miss you! ❤️
