Nicole Visits Colorado Springs

Nicole came to visit us in early May for a week. We had a great time checking out the sites in the Springs...and discovered new places we had never been to before!

Here we are at Chipotle...not a new place for us. A favorite!

Nicole loves her Bubble Tea!

So when we saw this place in downtown Colorado Springs advertising "Bubble Tea"...of course we had to try it.

A close-up of the beauty. Nicole especially liked the lid.

Relaxin'.

Happy in love.

It rained on the Saturday Nicole was here...so we had to be creative to have fun...or not? Because we found out about the Penny Arcade in Manitou Springs thanks to a helpful staff member of the 'Coffee and Tea Zone'!
Photobucket
Wait until you see these old school games...
Photobucket
Pretty great, huh? The price was right too! :)

I'm sure you are wondering what on earth we are doing in this picture...it will all be clear soon...
Photobucket
Ahhh...you see, we just were looking for a creative way to highlight the "Penny Arcade" sign. The idea worked better in my head than when we tried to act it out. So we had to settle for a piggy back!
Photobucket
Crazy Mirror.
Photobucket
The big money arcade game...Deal or No Deal. It was a $1 per game! But well worth the laughs. The ladies were hilarious on it.
Photobucket
After Matt played and I made fun of him for paying that much for a game...I had to try and see if I could beat how many tickets he won. I succeeded!!!
Photobucket
Our prizes for all of our hard earned tickets!
Photobucket
Kiddie Rides! I can't wait to bring our nephew here

This post is going to be so long...I apologize now.
We went to the Dollar Theatre to watch 'Mall Cop'! It didn't get great reviews, but we loved it! Lots of good, clean laughs!

'Kissing Camels' at Garden of the Gods

Nicole skipping happily in Garden of the Gods. As everyone should when coming here. It is one of my favorite places on earth!

The Restaurant at Poor Richards-another delightful eatery in downtown Colorado Springs.
Photobucket
Great Pizza! It had an adjoining bookstore and coffee shop as well.

Children's play area in the back of Poor Richard's. Nicole taking over for the Princess!

Just chillin' outside of Poor Richard's
Photobucket
Rollerbladers.
Photobucket
Injured rollerblader...but very cute Patsy's shirt!

And so ends Nicole's visit! Actually the Debt Free post was the end of her visit.
But our blog is all out of wack with how far behind I am!

Well, the Springs also is a fun city. Won't your nephew love all this? Thanks for the pictures - looks like you had a lot of fun with Nicole.
