This past weekend we drove out to Royal Gorge Park, Skyline Drive, camping at Eleven Mile State Park, and ending with Paddlefest ’08. It was alot of fun, the gorge was cool, if a tad hokey at times, the park was beautiful, Skyline drive was really scary (in a fun way!), and Paddlefest was interesting. Here are some pictures….

There aren’t really any good pics from paddlefest, the weather was overcast and Amy wasnt feeling too great due to a livid sunburn from Saturday, but all in all, we had a great time

Snaily and the cats all faired well during the trip and have settled nicely into their new home. This past weekend we really got out and explored Colorado Springs. We visited
