CoS

It really stinks when a good friend moves far, far away.

BUT it's made so much better when a good friend moves somewhere super cool to visit.

My friend, Tiff, recently followed her dream of moving to Colorado Springs, CO. I'm so happy for her that she took a chance, and made this change for herself. Especially because now I get to benefit by traveling to Colorado Springs!

I've never been to Colorado before, so I was super excited to get out there right away! I found a cheap flight in March (her Spring Break) and took an extended weekend for my visit. I flew in early Thursday. She took me to see her super cute house (she's since moved into a new house...that she owns!), then we headed off to visit her wedding reception site (she's getting married in July!)

Just so happens that her wedding reception site is only a few miles from Garden of the Gods.

The first thing you see on the right when you enter the park is the Kissing Camels (waaaay up top.)

Beautiful views.

Here I'm showing my strength.

The next day we headed to the Hot Springs. The Hot Springs is about two hours away, but the drive was so beautiful, so it was totally worth it.



Ever been to a Hot Springs? It's weird. You go out and get in the river. There are these beds of water that are really hot. It's like sitting in a hot tub!



What's even weirder is that we went in March. In Colorado it snows in March. Yep! So here I am in the Hot Springs, in my bathing suit, while it's snowing.


I even took some video of it! It was really coming down there for a while. But the Hot Springs water was so hot that the snow was a really nice break.

On Sunday I headed home bright and early in the morning. I got to watch the sun come up! So pretty!



Thanks, Tiff, for hosting me! I can't wait until my next visit!
