Today's blog is really about what we did Wednesday, Thursday and today...


balancing rock



 

On Wednesday we went to Garden of the gods. These are some of the rock formations that were especially impressive.

waiting to get our pictures made

On Thursday morning we left the hotel and went out to the chapel at the Air Force Academy for a photo op.  We had a 2 hour window to get our cars in front of the chapel (one at a time) and have the picture made by a photographer. Then we could tour the Chapel.  The picture of our Healey in front of the chapel will come later...

After we left the Chapel, we took the cog railway up to the top of Pikes Peak...

this is something I have always wanted to do, now I can mark it off my bucket list...

After we got back from the top of Pikes Peak, we rushed back to the hotel to dress for the Awards Banquet..and say our good bys to people we would not see until next year...

 This morning we left the hotel with 10 couples for a 10 day tour.  We drove from Colorado Springs to Aspen for lunch and then on the Beaver Creek Lodge for 2 nights.

12095 ft.

The road to Aspen was absolutely the most beautiful drive.  We traveled to 12095 feet..and the air was pretty thin.....

After we arrived at the hotel we walked down to the village and had pizza at the Blue Moose Cafe..and Carl Brown had a Moose Drool Beer....we had a Big Moose Pizza.  Tomorrow will be a rest day, shopping in the village and looking around...no long rides...
