We're back

The trip was quite short considering we flew that far (more than 3 hours). But I love such shorter vacation better, because I don't want to go back to real life if it is too long.

This is our first time to Denver, however we didn't have time to dig into the city and enjoy everything.

Here are some highlight of the trip.
Pikes peak, amazing, I don't have any words to describe it, you have to go and feel it yourself. When we got to the the summit (not exactly the summit, still 2 miles of road was closed due to snow), I felt like when I first saw the ocean, it opened up my eyes and made me feel so tiny to this huge mother nature. The highest point we got was about 13000ft.
Garden of the gods, pretty neat, but if you've been to Zion national park, it won't surprise you. Horse ride in the park would be great, but I didn't feel like riding a horse. Sophia loves horse but is too young to enjoy pony ride.
Downtown Denver, doesn't look very safe, we didn't stay long, didn't even eat there. If I go again, I will go to the Denver art museum. Sophia enjoyed the children's corner at the museum very much.
Rocky mountain national park, pretty much like the Yellow stone national park, but smaller, not very impressive to me. Sophia was very exited to see wild animals though. It's not the park for us with a toddler, because Sophia is too heave to be carried while hiking, and too little to walk herself. She asked for stroller every time the car stops.

We also had some great eats at local restaurants, met our old friend and had good time.
