up to pikes peak we go!

pikes peak. you are one huge mother. it takes about an hour to drive to the summit. you start at about 6,000 feet and when you reach the top you are at around 14,000. we all felt dizzy and weird when we got to the top. and cold. you can see in the pictures that we start out wearing our warm 65 degree weather clothes, and by the time we reach the top we put on all the clothes we could find in the car (it was 32 degrees at the top..whoops). 
 halfway to the summit.

 we are coming for you!! 

breaking tree line 


 the views were breathtaking. it just goes for miles and miles. 
  the rocky mountains behind us. 
 the drive down was scarier than the drive up. 
 this is the view from my parents condo. so gorgeous.
this lake is a short walk from their patio. 

colorado you my friend are very pretty! 

xoxo,
j
