Colorado End of Day One

At the end of our first day, we got settled in our hotel room, ate at a novelty pizza place called Fargo's, went to Memorial Park (which was awesome), marveled at the mountains, and the Queen bought a souvenir Colorado deck of cards and a Pepsi from the local Walmart.

When we were approaching Colorado Springs, the mountains were hidden behind the daily cloud cover so we couldn't see them right away as soon as were close enough. since the princesses had never seen mountains before, they weren't sure what to expect. Ladybug asked when they would know they saw them, and I assured her that she would know. Basically, if you have to ask, you haven't seen then yet.

This point was best illustrated by Sassy Pants, who had ridden up here behind the Queen. She had not seen the mountains once they were clearly visible so the Queen moved her head so Sassy Pants could see through her headrest.

Initially, Sassy Pants said she could not see them, but she was apparently looking in the wrong place. We guessed the second she spooted then when an elated "Oh my gosh!" drifted out of the back seat. She wasn't wondering anymore.

And tomorrow, we go up Pikes Peak.
