We are Blessed... and that's Spectacular!: A Little Vacation

I was blessed to get away for a little vacation last week. WGO and I hit the road early Wednesday morning headed for Colorado Springs. The purpose of the trip was for WGO to attend the annual board retreat for the Association of General Contractors. The meetings were held at a posh resort called the Broadmoor. It was a beautiful, spacious facility nestled in the mountains. The customer service at this place was outstanding; every employee I met was friendly and very accommodating. They all seemed to love their job.

There were hiking trails real close to the resort. So on Thursday morning we did a short 500 ft climb. After lunch in Colorado Springs we went back and did the "Seven Bridges" hike. It was about 800 ft. climb that crossed over the creek seven times. After the meeting and luncheon on Friday, WGO and I went to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. Touring a zoo is one of my favorite things to do. I am always amazed at the great imagination of our Creator. The evening included a nice dinner with the other members of the board and their spouses.

After the meeting on Friday, we decided to spend the afternoon relaxing in the room--out of the sun. Fortunately the Catholic Church was right across the street from the resort which made it a very convenient walk to attend their 5 o'clock Mass. We really didn't want to dress up to go to any of the resort restaurants or go into the city so we did something that I have never done before--ordered room service. Forty-five minutes later, a very friendly young man brought us our hamburgers, French Fries, and Bud Light with a lime and served them to us on our little deck. It was a very relaxing and fun evening with my hubby.

We left early the next morning to head home intending to stop for breakfast. Instead we ate a Granola bar and decided to stop for lunch in Salina. Instead we ate beef jerky and drove on home to a house that had no food in it. Needless to say we made good time on our trip and I was really hungry by the time we managed to pull a meal together.

We did stop by the house and check on the progress. It was great to see brick and stone on the house. It was great to see the trim around the windows in the Great Room.

God is Good. I am blessed.
