Colorado--Land of a Million Raindrops
As usual, let's start off with the state welcome.
We didn't get out and get our picture taken with this one because we came upon it so quickly and there wasn't much of a spot to pull a motorhome over. As you can see it is a rather gray day. It poured rain that night, and nearly every day while we were there. It's a nice sign though.
The above picture doesn't exactly show just how bad the rain had been on this particular day. There was an actual tornado watch, I had no idea that Colorado even had tornados.
We spent several days in Colorado Springs visiting with some blog friends and we were thrilled to finally meet them in person! Awesome family, wonderful time, and some pretty serious silliness took place! Too bad I can't show you.
However, if you are ever in Colorado Springs, one super place to eat is The Airplane Restaurant. We enjoyed it very much, it had great food, and was well worth the stop.
Colorado Springs was also where I was introduced to Chipotle Mexican Grill. Oh YUMMY! Chipotle is now my favorite "fast" food restaurant.
We went to see the Garden of the Gods but that was the day of the tornado watch and rain, rain, rain. I did take a picture of the Kissing Camels, but my picture turned out to look more like kissing squirrels. Once again, I saw a piece of Oregon. There is a rock at Garden of the Gods that looks like it was plucked out of Smith Rock State Park. I don't know what happened to the picture I took of it though.
We liked Colorado, especially Colorado Springs, and if Dear Man could get a job there we wouldn't be sad about it.
