Today we toured the Cave of the Winds. I went into it thinking we were going to a few large 'rooms' with stalactites & such. I had no idea that we would be climbing narrow ladders, & going through tunnels so low that even Brianna had to duck! I've never thought of myself as claustrophobic but I was certainly leaning that direction by the time we got out of there! Funny enough, Brianna said the tight tunnels were her favorite part! And yes, Mom, I thought of you while we were in there!
We then drove about 45 miles SW to Cripple Creek, CO. We really wanted to take Tyler on the train ride there, although it wasn't as long as we originally thought, he loved it of course. The town was rich in history & back in the day, just plain rich! The mines surrounding the area produced 15-20 million dollars back in the Gold Rush days.
We also made a quick stop at Focus on the Family headquarters. The basement houses Whit's End & several playgrounds. The decor there was beautiful, they really put a lot of work into it, complete with the fountain soda shop!
