garden of the gods

Have you ever lived somewhere for a LONG time and just never gotten around to visiting that popular landmark that almost every tourist in the world has seen?  Well, I can now finally check one of those items off my list.  After growing up and living in Colorado for 18 years I never actually visited garden of the gods.  So during our first full day back in Colorado for our 4 day Easter trip, my brother (Grant) and his wife (Kerri) wanted to take us to see this beautiful red rock formation located in Colorado Springs.  So Paige and I left Zander to enjoy his grandparents and vice-versa, while we hiked around a windy and slightly cold park.  We watched some insane rock climbers scale the cliffs while we safely walked the sandy paths that simply went around the base of the rock formations.  The enormous red rocks were beautiful, but my favorite part was the conversation and jokes that we all shared.  After times like this I realize how much I miss living close to my brother and his wife.
