Colorado in Pictures: Air Force Academy

I planned on blogging about Colorado last night while watching the Oscars, but I got wrapped up in Florida apartment searching & all of the sudden it was bedtime! Oops! I'm headed down to Gainesville later this week, & at the rate I'm going I may or may not actually finish telling you about this trip before I leave for my next trip! Oh well!

Where were we? After driving back to Colorado Springs from Cripple Creek, I was dying to check out the Air Force Academy (particularly the famous chapel) so the ladies obliged & we stopped there next. The chapel was gorgeous & we got some great shots! We also squeezed in a couple more portraits against a pretty red tile wall at the Academy. You already saw my favorite shot of Liz, but Tara & I also got in on the action. Scroll to the end for those!

After grabbing a quick bite to eat, freshening up, we went to downtown Colorado Springs for a little pub crawl. My favorite spot? a bar called Cowboy. I loved watching some real-deal cowboys & gals line dance, two step & three step. My girlfriends even convinced two very old fogies to try to teach met the two-step.They were funny & very patient with my two left feet. Sorry, friends... I left the camera at home for our night on the town!

Be back later to continue this mini-series....

Outside the chapel...

Well hello gorgeous...

I was enamored with the stain glass...

And this simple, beautiful cross...

Another angle... 

I'm a sucker for pretty backdrops...

Sure you can take my picture...

Another? Okay!

The Academy, right before the rain rolled in...

Thanks for agreeing to this pitstop, ladies! I loved it!
