Colorado Springs, Pike's Peak

 While in Colorado Springs, my friend and I decided to visit Pike's Peak, it was an amazing experience! I would highly recommend it! We were lucky enough to be the first train in a week to go all the way to the top, I will advice you to check the weather before you book your tickets, if the winds are between 65 a 70 MPH they will cancel the trains, if there has been a recent snow fall the train can only go half way!

We could not see any bears or mountain lions, but we saw some long horned sheep, we also learned about some amazing stories about a cabin located around 13,000 feet above sea level where a family used to live for a couple of years, amazingly the mother gave birth to her third child in the house ! It was so far removed from any medical attention she had to take her chances, fortunately everything went fine!

Here's the "cabin" where the family used to live

Views from Pike's Peak, only 14,110 ft over sea level!

 Very windy and cold!

Colorado Springs, Broadmoor

My husband and I had the chance to go to Colorado Springs a couples of weeks ago and stayed at the Broadmoor, only one of the most beautiful hotels in the world! It is so classy and peaceful you loose track of time, you feel removed from the craziness of mobile phones and internet and feel actually relaxing. It is very hard to find availability starting in late Sept./Oct., the weather is just perfect, and their spa must be one of the best priced in the US, not to mention the services are amazing! and the facilities are first class, needless to say perfect romantic getaway! 3 golf courses, 5 different restaurants, outdoor pool, indoor pool, tennis courts and lots and lots of fun!

 Amzing view of the lake, love the ducks, and the amazing view!

 My running partners!

Can you believe this!?

Breathless!
