Colorado vacation_The Springs

Brandon laughed because i kept on telling him to be careful with Ava near the edge of the cliff.
This was taken at the top of a high cliff
The red-rock formations were spectacular

Ava has snacktime
While we were in Colorado, we visited Colorado Springs for a night. We went on priceline.com and got a hotel for 55! And it was three stars! Hey, I love a deal. Anyways, we drove down from Denver, which took about 1.5 hours in our rented Jeep Commander.
During our time in Colorado Springs we visited Seven Falls, Garden of the Gods, Macaroni Grill (he...he) and Manitou Springs, along with Pikes Peak! At the top of Pikes Peak, we ate their world famous donuts and took some photos of the cog rail. We found out that 'America the Beautiful' was penned after a professor was on the top of the mountain for two days as saw the beautiful view from the top. It was really breathtaking. Being up that high makes your problems seem small and very insignificant!
