We are now on part seven out of eight on my family vacation blog post. We just entered the Garden of the Gods in Colorado. We took a little bus about 15 minutes into the park. We walked the loops around the rocks. We saw lots of rock climbers and even talked to a couple. The rocks were incredibly tall and the climbers looked like tiny specks compared to the rocks. We even saw a 11 year old little girl climbing with her dad. We took lots of pictures and just kind of explored around for a few hours. We then headed off to Pikes Peak which was about an hour drive from the Garden of Gods. After making it to the entryway of pikes peak we drove about 10 minutes and I started getting severely light headed. I started blacking out really bad and we thought I was going to pass out. We found a pull off and ended up having to turn around before even making it ⅓ of the way to the top of the mountain. We turned around and headed back down the mountain. We stopped at the North Pole attraction they have. It was like a little old fashioned amusement park. It had probably 15 kiddy rides and cute structures. We walked around and took some pictures but we didn’t really have time to ride any rides. They had lots of cool nutcrackers and Christmas ornament shops. It was like Christmas in June instead of July. I was sunburnt so bad and it was kinda chilly I actually ended up wearing a thin sweatshirt around the park. After leaving the park we drove around downtown Colorado Springs to find a souvenir shop. Me and my little sister both try to get magnets from every place we travel and put them on our white boards. We finally found a shop and found sweatshirts and magnets. After leaving Colorado Springs we started driving towards home. We decided to not come home through Oklahoma because we don’t enjoy the scenery there. So we took a bit of a longer route home to stop at one of our favorite places.
