Chris and Kristen both had Monday off. We took the morning slow, leaving for Colorado Springs and Garden of the Gods a little after 10 am. We made a quick stop at Deseret Book in Highland Ranch to exchange some clothing for Chris.
The weather was fairly nice, not abundantly warm, but nice enough for January to enjoy the beauty of the Garden of the Gods. Our first stop was Chick-fil-A. Check out the covered drive-thru! They certainly don't suffer from choosing to close on Sundays.
Kristen was quite a bit younger the last time we took her to the Garden of the Gods. I do believe there was a lot of nose plugging from her then. We had an enjoyable day hiking on different trails. First four photos are courtesy of Chris.
