So the Ks offered kindly, as part of their long stay to gift Margie for her birthday with a “We’ll watch Katherine for a couple of days, you and Dave go off and have a nice time somewhere.”<\/p>\n

Who could turn down an offer like that? Especially since Jim is busy doing work in the office refurb into the new guest room while we’re away?<\/p>\n

So we’re staying at the Cheyenne Canon Inn<\/a>, just outside Colorado Springs and a half mile or so from the Broadmoor. It’s a very nice B&B, nestled up against the mountains, with a long history as a restort, a bordello (in the 1910s-20s), and a casino\/speak-easy (in the 1920s-30s). These days it’s just scenic and comfy, and we have a great room with a great view (and, ahem, WiFi).<\/p>\n

For dinner, we wandered over to nearby Manitou Springs and dined at Mona Lisa, a fondue\/raclette place we’ve visited before. Very yummy food, a faboo wine list, and, of course, excellent company.<\/p>\n

No idea of our plans for tomorrow, aside from sleeping and enjoying ourselves. Huzzah!<\/p>\n
