Hello Everyone!
Friday was our last full day in Colorado Springs. We knew we wanted to get a hike in, but needed to still get all of our stuff packed up and ready to go. So we hit up Palmer Park again. (This was the place we ended up impromptu hiking on day 4 the day it started out COLD and WINDY!) This park is in the middle of Colorado Springs and a very enjoyable hike. I’d highly recommend checking it out if you’re ever in the area, but don’t have the time to drive 30+ minutes to a larger hiking spot. We enjoyed the rock formations and the views. We even found a tree that reminded us of a tree we found at Red Rock Canyon Open Space on day 3.
After we finished our hike, we headed to Amy’s Donuts to get some donuts to enjoy tonight, but also to take home to enjoy with the kida over the weekend. This was a place we hit the last time we were in town and we couldn’t miss it again. I might have gone a bit overboard on the donut buying, but I couldn’t help it...they looked so good. Lol.
Then we headed home to take showers, relax and pack up our stuff before dinner. It was bitter sweet, knowing we get to head home and see the kids was exciting. However, leaving Colorado Springs isn’t very exciting. Can’t wait to come back again...maybe even as early as next summer and we can bring the kids too so they can enjoy the area. ☺️
For dinner we decided to go back to a place we ate before. Really, we revisited our first dinner of Colorado by going back to Crave Real Burgers. Tony got the same burger as last time, Love Stinks, and I got the Popper. We split them in half again and it was all just as good as the first day we ate them.
We watched Vice for our last movie in town. It was very good, eye opening and educational. I read a lot about Dick Cheney throughout the movie. Geeze, that guy was an interesting person. Not really always for the best, but he learned how to play the political system. This is another one I’d highly suggest. Also, be prepared to be dumbfounded the entire movie as you watch Christian Bale’s performance for this role. He is a method actor and actually put on all the weight to play Cheney. 😳 6/7 movies were ones we enjoyed. Yay!
There was also a beautiful storm that rolled through and I had to capture some pictures to share.
Healthy Lifestyle Wins: Mainly the fact that we ate lunch that we made and went for a hike. Other then that this was probably one of our worst eating days and being lazy. Haha!
Thank you all for sharing in our fun adventures of our 2020 summer vacation back to Colorado Springs. It was such a fun week and I’m so thankful that we were able to spend this time together just enjoying each others company and a place we have both come to love.
Take care!
