We woke to snow in Fort Collins…and then what they call muddy rain! (Where DOES the dirt in the rain come from? Do we want to know?) After packing up our very lives into suitcases, we checked out and walked around Old Town, looking for a lunch spot. Old Town is a quaint downtown district in Fort Collins, which has well-preserved historical buildings. Very Nice.
We stumbled upon Spicy Pickle for lunch and chose the counter seats facing the street to further enjoy the charming downtown. The food held true to its name: Chloe, upon taking her first bite of pickle said, “Whoa! That’s spicy!”
The rest of the day, we spent traveling to Colorado Springs and getting settled in there. We did stop at the Colorado Visitor’s Center where Levi made himself comfy sitting in a corner reading a book about notorious criminals in Colorado’s history.
Colorado Springs held another pleasant surprise as Hotwire.com (not a sponsor) got us our second excellent 3 star hotel for $49. We went from a Hilton in Fort Collins to a Hyatt in Colorado Springs. Wonderful hotels for the price. The Hyatt Suites are excellent just for the amount of room they provide.
We moved to a 1 bedroom Suite at a Hyatt with a kitchen for one night (for a $10 extra fee) only to find out there was only one bathroom, and you have to walk through the bedroom to get to that one bathroom...on the same night we let the kids have unlimited refills on soda.
Yeah, Grand Central Station... we should have just given them the bedroom.
Could have been worse - at least we didn't spend the ten bucks washing our car before it started raining dirt...
