Another Colorful Friday in Colorado

Tim: Today, we decided to head up to Colorado Springs to see an matinee movie... the newest Adam Sandler movie "Click." It was a typical funny Adam Sandler movie, but it also had a message of living for the moment that was appealing, especially since we have no clue what is coming up for the fall.

As is always the case in Colorado Springs (and Colorado in general, it seems), the traffic was ridiculous and the drivers as bad as ever. We have witnessed our fair share of poor drivers in our many road trips through the years, but Colorado has the absolute worst drivers anywhere. One day, we were up in Colorado Springs and there were over 10 car accidents in a matter of seconds. The radio traffic person even said that "I-25 was jacked up" with car accidents. Candy and I just about got in our own car accident laughing so hard.

Before the movie this afternoon, we took a stroll at a local mall. We stopped at the pet store in the mall and checked out the available pets. Candy took the leading picture with our cell phone of a posing snoozing pooch. We found it pretty amusing.

The pictures below were also taken with the cell phone camera, which is certainly not even close to the camera that Candy normally uses for her awesome images. However, these shots will give you an idea of how amazing the skies get here in Colorado. It seems that every night is a colorful sky show here. Add the mountains to the mix and it is even more spectacular.

As the days here come to a close, we know we have been blessed to be here the last two months. It really is a great place and offers many great exploration opportunities. We have gained a great appreciation for the natural beauty of this place. It will be different to be heading east from here and back to sea level again.

Until our next post, have a great weekend!
