We left for Colorado Springs on December 16th after I got off of work. We stopped in Dumas, TX for a few hours of sleep around 1am and then continued on to our destination.

We passed by the Welcome to Colorado sign too quickly so I don't have a picture of that. Here is a picture of Noah once we went to Misty and Paul's house to visit. He found the chocolate!

We spent some time at the North Pole on December 18th.
After the North Pole, we spent a little while at the Manitou Cliff Dwellings.
For dinner that night, we ate at Applebee's and a nice lady made Noah a Rudolph from balloons.
Wednesday had blizzard-like conditions for most of the morning so once the roads cleared, we went out and about. We made our way back to Misty and Paul's eventually and got a picture of the cousins before we left.
On Thursday, we went to the Olympic Center for a bit.

After the Olympic Center, we made our way to the Cog Railway to go to the top of Pike's Peak.
 |
| Snow! |

| Getting Higher! |
 |
| Almost there! |
 |
| The Rocky Mountains! |

| We made it to the top! |

We came back home on Friday, December 21, 2012. We got home 10 minutes before midnight and during all that traveling, the world didn't end, not even once.
