Royal Gorge, shopping and fun!

Today we decided to get up, get things packed up, and have breakfast in the mountains...it just doesn't get any better than that! It was so neat, and just about a 15 minute drive from their house. So, that was even better! We found a nice little open spot, and did some more hiking and sight seeing while breakfast was being made. What better way to start the day than memosa's in the mountains! And, we also found some nice rocks for more pictures! Had a little trouble getting up this time, but we did it!
After breakfast, we drove to the Royal Gorge. This was a place they took Shane and I when we came out to visit several years ago. So, we thought it would be fun again, however it did start to rain on the way there, so wasn't sure how much we would be able to do! Nonetheless, we didn't turn back and did have a great time anyway. Again, it was all about the company. While we were there, we saw people riding the big swing out across the gorge, and saw the train riding through the bottom as well, so that was really cool. But, again it started to rain, so we managed to wait under a tree for a little bit, and then made it to the car! We didn't have a chance to stay there long cause of the rain, but had fun just the same!
On the way home, we stopped at some souvenir shops to get some things for the kids. Even there, we had a ball hanging out together! And, we found a nice photo backdrop for some pictures! After shopping, we stopped at one of their favorite pizza places and had a great time at lunch! And...more pictures!! We were started to get a little sad knowing we had to get back on the road for home tomorrow, but that certainly didn't stop us! We got home and played more cards that night and had a ball...Davis style!!!
This trip was so much fun and long overdue! We had missed them so much since they moved and it had been a while since we'd seen them. So, the surprise went off without a hitch and we were all sad when we had to say goodbye the next morning! We cannot wait to do it again...soon!!!
The pictures from our last day are listed below.
