On this particular day we drove around forty-five minutes from Pueblo, Colorado to Garden of the Gods, which is in Colorado Springs. We stayed the next two nights there. I was especially excited about our visit to Garden of the Gods. Sadly, the day ended up being cloudy, cool, and drizzly but that did not stop us from exploring. It is a beautiful area!
We went straight to the visitor's center for a badge and pin. We then spent some time looking around at the exhibits. Ben loved all the animal displays.

Next, we drove through the rock formations and stopped along the way to climb a few of them.

We did a lot of climbing!
Garden of the Gods is free and is a must see if you are in Colorado Springs.

It was still rainy when we left Garden of the Gods so that hindered our outdoor plans. Instead, we made a visit to Bass Pro Shop. That is always a highlight for the boys.

I saw this sign there and loved it!
That evening we made our first ever visit to In-N-Out. We loved it! The boys had asked me to see if there were any locations in Colorado where we could eat. Thanks to YouTube influencers, they were eager to try it. It was a hit with our family!
After a rainy day we were happy to see this beautiful rainbow when we returned to our hotel that night.
The next day was Cruz's 15th birthday. We began the morning with a drive up to Pikes Peak. I'll share about that next.
