COLORADO: Cripple Creek
This was our final stop on our trip. We had rented a home from vrbo.com with my parents that was very close to Cripple Creek, but actually in Florissant. It was so awesome, better than it's pictures! It was a 3 story home on 70 acres. It had a wrap-around deck with a hot tub and a great view. There were three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Every room had king-sized tempur-pedic beds. There were two living rooms, a huge kitchen and two giant tvs with satellite and a computer with high speed internet. It was very clean, the furniture looked brand new, and they let us bring our dog....all for $175 a night that we split with my parents! We couldn't have booked a hotel room in town for that.
We had a lot of fun at this place. We went into Cripple Creek for a day. We are gambling baptists. ha! Just on vacation. All the casinos in Colorado are smoke free which totally rocked! Mckenzee took a two hour nap on a couch in the lobby of one casino and we just took turns sitting by her. You'll also notice that on vacation we break our sugar rule and let her have suckers. It helps when we are shopping.
The pictures below also show some really cool sand sculptures.
COLORADO: Royal Gorge
This was my least favorite part of our vacation, but I love my husband so we went. I have a serious fear of being near edges....edges over-looking gorges to be specific. I was brave and walked across the world's highest suspension bridge with him and our toddler. The best part about Royal Gorge was that they had rock candy in the gift shop. I'm a real sucker for rock candy. We also saw our first chipmunk here and he was a friendly little fellow. 
COLORADO: Lake City
Okay, I am hoping to get through this vacation blogging...more for my own record. It's been a little over a month now since we have been back. I want to get it done.
After we left Creede we drove up to Lake City. My PawPaw used to spend his summers there and we would go and visit. It was always lots of fun: hiking, fishing, four-wheeling, feeding animals, and shopping in town. This time we were just stopping through. We did some shopping and let Mckenzee play on the playground. We chose a sky blue topaz stone for her at a jewelry shop to be set into a necklace. Chris bought me a ring there a few years ago. We found a rug for her new room and got some Christmas ornaments and t-shirts. We also had some giant milkshakes before we left. The drive in was so pretty, but very steep. Our brakes were smoking when we got there and when we left we had to pay big bucks for gas so, we got just enough to get us to the next town.
