Yesterday was really cool, The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo was awesome, there were giraffes, peacocks, gorillas, lions, bears... all of the essentials for a zoo. Today however I will be hiking up Seven Falls, because yesterday I spent around 4 hours at the zoo and just couldn't bring myself to go hike up a waterfall. So I will be headed up towards the falls shortly within a few hours I would say, as soon as my sleeping beauty of a girlfriend awakens from her slumber on her elder sister's very comfortable red velvet couch.

After the falls I'm pretty sure that we will hit up one of the shopping malls here in Springs and after meandering around there for a while the next step will be to head back home to the valley driving over La Veta Pass to get home. I will include some pictures of my adventures today hopefully after I get back home tonight.

First off

It is currently my spring break and I am at home. Home is the San Luis Valley, which hosts the Great Sand Dunes, The Rio Grande River, Zapata Falls, Pennitente Canyon, Potatoes, The Sangre De Cristo Mountains, The San Juan Mountains acres of national forest and the little known UFO Watchtower.

It is good to be home, but it is spring break and although the vernal equinox is nearing the weather here in the valley is not exactly spring material if you know what I mean. So I am thinking about actually heading west or south, (because moving farther away from the equator means colder weather and all that lie east is impenetrable Midwest farmland) and possibly becoming known as a snowbird I understand this, but who doesn't want warm weather for spring break? My budget reflects that of a college student who lifeguards at the YMCA, and does a little lab monitor work one night a week, so the possibilities of travel do indeed come to an end. My girlfriend and I have figured two options for travel, northern Arizona, or southwestern Utah. I suppose if those plans fail there is always Colorado Springs right?
