Pikes Peak

The summer rushed by so fast, I realized we hadn't made it to the mountains at all except for going up to my parents' house. So on Sunday, despite the dismal weather forecast, we headed down to Colorado Springs to drive up Pikes Peak. I had been there before, but for Scott and the kids it was the first time.

I'm so glad we didn't let the cloudy/rainy weather stop us. Once we started climbing, the clouds ended up below us and we had clear, sunny skies. The clouds also made for an amazing view.






One more thing marked off our summer list. I'm almost ready for fall to arrive.

Oh, Robin! Definitely a wonderful post!! I lived in CO 20+ years and only made it to Pikes Peak twice--both visits were in the month or so before we moved! FUN time!!

I wish we would have gone to the top one of the times we've been there. We must go back again one day and make that top priority!
