Colorado!

This was one of my all time favorite trips! I went when I was...23 or 24 I don't really remember exactly, but my dad was working for Raytheon who was the company in control of Mcmurdo Station Antarctica, which was where he worked. That year my dad was the Heavy Shop Crew Manager so he had to hire the mechanics. This involved (for him) a month or so in Denver, and for me a 2 week trip to Denver and back. My mom, dad, and I drove out there and stayed in a hotel in Denver and the company paid for My parents room and part of my room.
It was in may so they still had Snow up in the mountains, this is a snow and ice covered lake up in the mountains by Colorado Springs.

This is the Royal Gorge Bridge, basically a bridge that leads to no where. It just goes across the Colorado River and the road swings back across the bridge again.
The view from the bridge, it goes down, down, down, down. And the river looks Tiny.

These were the Anastasi Ruins that we visited right outside of Colorado Springs. They were really cool. You got to walk around inside of them and through the different rooms, very cool.View from the Anastasi Ruins. To the left of this is the Garden of the Gods.


One of the formations in the Garden of the Gods. (I have no idea who that dude is, do you ever think about when you get in people's pictures you are in their keepsakes forever, like this dude.)

This was a picture i took on the side of the road on the way up the mountain. *sigh* I love Colorado.
