Colorado Springs Vacation - Day 1 & 2

We are going on a road trip this spring to Colorado Springs.

DAY 1 - Driving from home to Amarillo, TX

We left early in the morning and stopped for lunch in Childress.

Having a picnic at Fair Park in Childress.

We also did a little geocaching. We found two in the park and two more at a cemetery near by.

We stopped for the night in Amarillo and saw some sites.

We played and explored at the Don Harrington Discovery Center. Nathan had a great time blowing giant bubbles.

Playing in a giant kaleidoscope.

There were also giant dinosaurs. The moved and made life like noises. Nathan was a bit scared of them, but did look at all of them.

Nathan was very excited the whole time we were there. He jumped from station to station and was interested in learning what everything was.

After three hours, Nathan hit his limit and was exhausted and hungry.

So, we headed over to the Big Texan for steaks. Three big guys tried to eat the 72 oz. steak while we were there and they all failed to eat it in 1 hour. Nathan, of course, loved to watch the timers count down and kept us informed of how many minutes they had left.

DAY 2 - Driving from Amarillo to Colorado Springs, CO.

We stopped off at Cadillac Ranch on our way out of Amarillo.

Not really sure what Nathan thought of the cars buried in the ground.

There are 10 cars in a row and are covered with many layers of spray paint. It's so thick that some people have started carving in it.

The cars are in a cow pasture on private property but everyone is welcome to come visit them.

We stopped in New Mexico for a rest and there were "Watch for Snake" signs everywhere. Thankfully, we didn't see any snakes.

We arrived in Colorado Springs just as snow flurries started to fall. We were in short sleeves and not ready for the cold temperature.
