The Royal Gorge

This weekend we visited the Royal Gorge which is below Colorado Springs and above Pueblo. I just got a new camera, so definitely trying it out.












We rode the aerial tram which is the world's longest single-span aerial tram (there is a test at the end of this). We were very high. We saw birds flying below us (very odd feeling).




This a picture of the Royal Gorge Bridge. This is the world's highest suspension bridge. We rode the trolley across this.









Saw some elk, bison, and rams.








Rode the incline. This is the world's steepest incline railway.






Abby at the bottom of the incline.






Also had a merry-go-round. Abby was comparing the incline to the ride, Top Gun, at King's Island.

Abby's new activities

I just thought I would give an update. Abby is in the process of starting two new activities. She started last Tuesday taking a Spanish class at her school. She thinks it is very cool to speak Spanish. Next week she will be starting a karate class with her dad (this is also at her school). Abby is adjusting to Colorado very well. I think she handled it the best out of all of us.



I started work this week. I am working a few grueling 40 hour weeks. This whole work thing is going to take a little time to get used to. I can't wait til the house sells, so we can hire that housekeeper (just once a month). Work is going well. I think that they are going to be very flexible with the schedule. I am a little rusty on my financial knowledge, but I'm sure it will come back in a little while. Jim and I have been carpooling while I am working full-time which is nice unless he gets stuck in a meeting and is over an hour late picking me up (happened yesterday).

Life in Colorado is going well for all of us. We miss all of our friends in Northern Kentucky. We are making new friends with the members of our new congregation and with our new neighbors.

Garden of the Gods

We visited the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs last weekend. It was our first outing here in the west. We watched a movie and enjoyed a bus tour. We are planning to go to the the Royal Gorge this coming weekend, so more pictures will be coming.
