Colorado Springs

One of the things that I really wanted to do while I was here was to volunteer at the Rescue Mission and Shanna got behind that full force and helped to make that a reality. So yesterday we did one of the things she wanted to do while in Colorado. We went to Colorado Springs. The main attraction for the day was visiting the Focus on the Family headquarters, which is located just north of Colorado Springs. On the way to the Focus on the Family we stopped at the Air Force Academy, just because it was there and we had time. It was awesome! I was excited because I tried to make it similiar to West Point and Diana's experiences there. But anyways we got to see the complex and we toured the visitor center. The coolest thing there was the chapels. The protestant chapel had an amazing organ! But there was also a roman catholic chapel that had a replica of the shroud of Jesus. And then the Jewish and Buddhist chapels were just cool to look at. After leaving there we went to eat at Chic-fil-a. Man the small things are just so incredible up here. We loved it and it was just that we hadn't had any in 5 months. But we went to Focus on the Family and got to go to the visitors center, which included a bookstore and a child's play area. Shanna and I enjoyed the kids play area alot! =) Then we took a tour of the administrative area, which included the actual radio room where Dr. Dobson hosts and records his radio talks!! After the Focus on the Family we drove around town and then headed out. But while we were at a red light the coolest thing happened -- there was a police escorted funeral procession, however the cool part was that every car in the processional was a Corvette! New, old, every color, convertible, hard top. It was awesome! Sad that it was funeral, but that was one of the best car parades I've ever seen. But Shanna and I had an awesome day acting as tourists and enjoying 70 degree weather and sunshine. Going to miss our road trips!
Anyways thanks for reading this. PS we had two inches of snow last night. On the first of May...snow....ahh!
