Colorado Springs Trip

Wow... It's been a long time since I've updated this blog! As most of you know, Ashley and I are expecting a son soon! Her due date is August 10th. We are so excited for the new addition to our family. Ashley and I decided to take one final road trip prior to our lil' guy being born. We headed up to Fort Collins, Colorado for the day, and we had a great time. After eating lunch we went walk around the campus of Colorado State University. There was this very nice tree-covered walkway, keeping us cool during the rising summer temperatures. We drove over to Horsetooth Reservoir and enjoyed the scenery. Ashley is due in four short weeks! After leaving Fort Collins, we drove back home to watch Despicable Me 2, which was an awesome movie! On Thursday we drove down to Colorado Springs, and hit up The Garden of the Gods. It's a beautiful place with very unique rock formations. After leaving Garden of the Gods, we went to the United States Olympic Training Center, which was pretty cool. We took a quick tour and then went to check in to our hotel. Later in the evening, we went to the Triple-A affiliate of the Colorado Rockies, the Colorado Springs Sky Sox game against the Reno Aces. On Friday we went to visit a site called Seven Falls. It is one waterfall, that has seven different areas where the water goes over the edge. We weren't very impressed by the $8.95 charge per person to get in to the place, but it was still a cool site to see. Cool staircase leading up to the observation deck at the waterfall. After leaving, we drove about a mile away to another scenic area. We can't wait for August 10th (or sometime around there) for our son to be born! I will definitely be updating this blog more with photos of our lil' guy when he gets here!
