The original plan after Pike's Peak was to have some lunch and then go to Garden of the Gods. So we went to a Mexican restaurant called Jorge's in Old Colorado City where the Queen and I had some tamales (the reviews said they were very good), and they were very good. Following this, we hit a couple shops to see what we could see. One place was Rocky Mountain Chocolate and the chocolate was incredible.
We headed over to Garden of the Gods and thought we'd start at the visitor center. This was a good thing since it started pouring rain shortly after we arrived. We hung out there for awhile but finally decided to hit the mall and maybe try GotG later or on another day.
I wasn't sure how well hanging at the Citadel Mall would go, and in the end, it was only ok. We got some cookies, and they were good. So that was something.
We saw that the rain had stopped, so we thought that we'd try GotG again. We saw some awesome rocks, and got some great shots such as the one above. We saw some clouds rolling in and figured we should get moving.
It rained. Oh my, how it poured! It rained so hard so fast that roads flooded instantly and at one point, I pulled off the road to wait a moment. We finally got back to the hotel and when they got out of the car, we got one of the loudest thundercrashes I've ever heard that made all 3 princesses scream so loud that the hotel concierge came out to see what was wrong. They were shaken for quite a while after that.
The rest of the night was calm. The rain subsided. We went swimming. And now we prepare for tomorrow.
