July End of Trip - St. Louis

On the final stretch back home, we stopped in St. Louis, MO and rode up the Gateway Arch. It felt a little claustrophobic, but it was actually pretty cool.  It had some nice vistas from the top and a cool museum in the basement.   

At the point of the vacation where everyone just needs their space and yet no one can seem to leave each other alone!

Hmmm.  I like this ping pong table.

And we are home.  Heaven help me.

Road Trip 2019 - Colorado Springs

 Colorado is an awesome state and Colorado Springs is a great example.   Walking around the Garden of the Gods, old civilizations in Manitou Springs, and some of the boys even took a shuttle up the 14,000 foot Pikes Peak.  

Road Trip - Independence Rock

 Once we left the Tetons, we headed south towards Colorado Springs.  Along the way we stopped at Independence Rock and another pioneer site called Martin's Handcart Company.  I thought both sites were actually pretty cool and a great place to stretch our legs along the way.
