It was "NaNa's" 70th Birthday late July so we took the kids to celebrate her birthday...a little early. The kids had a GREAT time on the flights, in the hotels, and spending lots of time with NaNa and PaPa. Uncle Roy flew out on his plane to meet us there, and Aunt Lisa was able to take time away from her busy schedule and spend a night there as well.
We took Mom to one of her favorite restaurants in the very cute town of Manitou Springs, The Cliff House. The kids were semi-good, even with all the fine china and crystal everywhere. The front staff of the Hotel was so incredibly nice to them. Not so sure about the wait staff...they seemed very intimidated by us??? But we had fun, especially with our own private room! It was a beautiful day and actually a little warm. We didn't spend any time shopping around town, but we'll definitely remember it for our next visit.
There were so many cute shops and restaurants, and lots of them were "historical" in some way or other, although we did stop at a 7-eleven for Adam's "ba-ba" :)The kids also were able to hit the Children's Art Museum. Apparently ranked #2 in the nation! There was lots to do but go figure, the brats only wanted to play dress up and make believe at the Farm. Oh, they did pose for Super-photos!
It was a great visit and the kids LOVED the flying on Southwest part! They can be poster children for the airline...they can spot it a mile away! But from our traveling experience, you have to admit, for the "bargain" they are, they certainly treat us well. On to home for a day, then our drive to San Diego....
