Bill and Linda's trip to Colorado!

This was probably the most interesting things that we saw. These are windmills in Kansas. They are so big that it requires an acre for each windmill. They provide electricity for a town of about 33,000 people! These were fun to look at just off the interstate!


The Colorado Mountains were just gorgeous!



The first day we were there you could not see the top of Pikes Peak and the snow on top, EXCEPT for one time where the white clouds parted and you could see the tip top of the mountain covered in snow. Wow!!!

This mountain below is called "kissing camels"!

The Air Force Academy is in Colorado Springs. We saw the Air Force football field, airplanes, and the chapel. The chapel was an amazing building with 4 different chapels inside. The protestant chapel was the largest with stained glass windows and an organ that had over 4,000 pipes! It was amazing hearing an organ concert while we were there! Beautiful!






One of the Olympic Training Center is in Colorado Springs. We saw where they train for swimming, shooting, basketball, and weightlifting. It was a fun visit!
