We headed to Colorado Springs to visit with family. My sister Kathy and her family live there. Thanks to Blaine, her husband, and his frequent flyer miles, they were able to fly my sister Karen out for a long weekend.
Immersed in family life, we attended a soccer game, a ninja warrior competition, and even helped with errands. Harold replaced the rear brakes on one of the vehicles, taking advantage of the auto hobby shop on the US Air Force Academy grounds, where we were staying.

About the only touring we did was
Glen Eyrie Castle. The property is a bed and breakfast and conference center that caters to the Christian community. It is a great place for a personal or couples retreat. The grounds are beautiful, and we noted several hiking opportunities, not to mention a flock of wild turkeys and some big horn rams.
We took Karen to Mountain Shadows, a triple D restaurant in Old Colorado City. I think we found a place that has cinnamon rolls even bigger than those at Johnson's Corner.

The springtime weather proved its ever-changing attitude with a couple of April snow showers. So much for the 80° weather Kathy said that they had before our arrival!
