In looking at our last blog post I realize it’s been a while since we’ve updated y’all on our adventures. Be looking for more of these posts again as we enjoy our winter at our current location in Hattiesburg, MS and as we eventually head to Virginia for our summer job in a few months.
We wrapped up summer of 2023 in Hot Springs, SD and made our way to Colorado Springs for a few days of relaxation and sightseeing. We love Colorado and I was thrilled to be back in the mountains again where we both feel so at home. We had reservations at the Colorado Springs/Pike’s Peak KOA where we had a patio site and a view from our patio of the mountains.


Part of the reason for our stop there was to take the train ride up to Pike’s Peak – which we didn’t quite make it to the top while we were there this time. They had rain which then froze in the switch boxes near the top of the mountain so we were unable to make the last 1500 feet or so to the top. It was a bit of a bummer to not get to see the view from the summit but we enjoyed the views and the ride as far up and back as we did get to experience.





While in Colorado Springs we also got a chance to visit Garden of the Gods which was spectacular as well.




Our final day in Colorado we went to our first restaurant that was on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and enjoyed a yummy brunch there.
