A (Holi)day in the Springs

We spent today in Colorado Springs with our friends David and Cheryl, who are set to marry in February. This was our first time meeting Cheryl, and she is a great gal. They make an awesome couple. Don't they look great together?


Our first stop was at David's place where we caught up with his parents, Bill and Mary, who flew out from Mt. Vernon, IN, for Thanksgiving. Our next stop was lunch at Front Range BBQ in Old Colorado City (now our regular spot when in the Springs).

Following lunch we went ice skating. Here are some action shots.


 
 

A little sore but ready for more, we swung by to see the holiday get-up at The Broadmoor--a one-of-a-kind hotel.

 (Amy, you'll love this) Check out the huge candy mountain and gingerbread house village.



Sarah and I hadn't visited The Broadmoor since living in Colorado Springs in the mid-nineties, so it was neat to be back and take the kids for their first visit. Only a few bucks for parking and you can wander all over the hotel and enjoy the festivities. A live band played Christmas music, and we enjoyed hot chocolate while walking the decorated loop.


Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving weekend!

Pretty neat. I've never heard of the Broadmoor. I love making candy houses but Robbie doesn't want to do those things anymore! boo hoo
We might take a drive up to West Baden this month to see their Christmas decorations. I've heard it's beautiful there this time of year.
