Andrea and I got a rare weekend away from our little ones. Grandma was glad to take Caleb and Haley while we spent time in Colorado Springs. We started with a long walk through Garden of the Gods. That place is so cool! We watched the sunset there and then went to check in at Cheyenne Mountain Resort.
The next day started off with a leisurely breakfast and plenty of time to read and relax. I had wanted to check out the Manitou Incline in Manitou Springs. This is a very popular hike that climbs 2000 feet up the beams of what used to be an old cog rail. We scurried up this steep climb and then decided to run down the Barr Trail that lies adjacent to the Incline. A great workout!
Finally, we went to Old Colorado City for a relaxing patio lunch on a gorgeous, 70-degree day! Our trip away was short and sweet, but it was great for us to connect and feel like a couple again.
