Headed Back Home
Well, it looks like our Colorado adventure is going to be coming to an end here very soon. As much as we’ve been dreaming about living out here for the last 10 years, the reality is that we have a house that doesn’t look like it’s going to sell any time soon.
Our house had been on the marketing since early June. We haven’t had any showings since early August, and then in September, we’re here not 2 weeks, and the bottom drops out of the economy.
The Rock Wall at REI
I didn’t post this last week, mostly just because this past week was a bit crazy. Last weekend was rainy, yea, I know, unusual for Colorado Springs, so we decided to check out the local REI store… again.
They have a 20 ft indoor rock wall, with 4 different sides.. 4 different degrees of difficulty. Tim, the climbing guy, as we call him, was there helping some kids and others in front of us.
Emily, at first, didn’t want to go, but then! She saw this 5 year old little boy do the climb, so she decided, “well, if he can do it, so can I” Way to go, Emily.
Beautiful Breckenridge
If you think Colorado Springs has a beautiful view, you haven’t seen anything until you’ve been up into the mountains and especially in Breckenridge.
Over the years, we’ve skied in Vail, Beaver Creek, Keystone, Copper, Winter Park and Breckenridge and I have to say, Breckenridge is my absolute favorite place. It’s not just a ski resort but quite an active town, too! Out of all the resorts, it has the largest residential population, which means it is just as beautiful during the off season with lots of fun shops, restaurants and stuff to do.
Here’s what I mean.
The Trek up to Pikes Peak
Today, we thought we would head up to Pike’s Peak. The fall color here is absolutely beautiful! The Aspen trees are a yellow and golden with hints of red and orange and this weekend is peak color for the trees.
The drive up to Pike’s Peak started out great, like any other drive through the mountains, except when we got to tree line. It was a view I never expected. It was a drop-off like I never expected. Talk about narrow, winding roads.
