Colorado Springs, Colorado 1995-1997
Jennifer & Christopher, October 1995 |
Next stop was Colorado Springs, Colorado, where we lived in a small two bedroom apartment right by the foot of the Rocky Mountains, with a view of Pikes Peak.
Royal Gorge, Garden of the Gods, Seven Falls and Cave of the Winds were some of the attractions we visited. A tour of The Olympic Complex was one of the highlights, and we were also able to pick up tickets to a Colorado Avalanche game, where we saw Peter (Foppa) Forsberg in action. |
In this wonderfully beautiful place, where the temperature was so varying, we could swim in the pool one day and sled the next, Jennifer's little brother, our son Christopher, was born in the fall of 1995.
One weekend, in the middle of a huge snow storm, we hopped in the car and drove to El Paso, Texas. One day we took the bus across the border to Ciudad Juarez, Mexico where we shopped and had a typical Mexican lunch and XX (Dos equis). The following day we spend at the beautiful El Paso Zoo. This is where Chris at the age of 6 months found his beloved monkey "Nisse". |
