a photo dump of our trip down to manitou

we went last weekend and it was lovely to get away for a night.

garden of the gods





storm rolled in and cut the visit short





manitou springs arcade. we played games and then stopped in a biker dive bar for a beer.





cliff dwellings





about halfway up pikes peak



near the summit of pikes peak (we turned around a couple miles below because we were both so stressed out by the drive). it was so frigid that i didn't get many pics.

husband wasn't hot on the idea, but he went in with me anyway.

i'd never been to maintou before and it was nice to see somewhere new. a bit like estes but more hippy-ish.
