Colorado- Day 2
We are on our way to Colorado Springs!
We had lunch at a darling little restaurant called The Twisted Corkscrew.
This was our view:
We ate outside on the patio and it was a bit chilly!
The girls really got along well on the trip.
They spent *a lot* of time in the back seat together so this
was a good thing!
I could not get over all the Aspen trees.
Love them.
Everywhere you look in Colorado, a picture is just waiting to be taken.
Stunning.
We drove to St. Elmo, CO, which is an old Ghost Town.
If only the buildings could talk. Just think of the stories
they could share.
A few wild raspberries peeking out...
We felt like the town was deserted...
But look what we found!
There were dozens of very tame chipmunks-
and oodles of friendly hummingbirds!
The one gift shop was closed.:(
I would have loved to have purchased this shirt!
On the way back we stopped to test the water.
Yep, it was cold.:)
Gorgeous.
Next stop.... Royal Gorge!

Hey there, Lori!
I sure have missed visiting you and your blog! I have such limited time with Chris still searching for employment. I really enjoyed all of your beautiful Colorado pictures! We've been to Vail a couple of times and I'm convinced that I could live there one day. Looks like you made lots of lasting memories!
Hi Lori
I LOVED your pictures from St Elmo. The trees are gorgeous, it's so pretty. The Ghost town looks creepy - I wouldn't like to be there after dark! The chipmunk is cute and the hummingbird too. The picture of the four of you is lovely - miss you all. Can't wait to see more pics :)

Love the pictures! I've never been to CO, but I've heard it is such a lovely place. How neat on the ghost town, love the picture of the window too, very nice.
Great pictures!
I grew up in Colorado and exploring the old towns was one of our favorite family vacations. We always had to walk through the old cemeteries. Have I mentioned that I have an odd family? :)
how wonderful! I love all the photos :-)
