Garden of the Gods

Before we left Denver James drove us down to Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs. It's a rock garden right in the town and it looks like something out of the Australian Outback. We did a short hike around the park and then hit up the ENORMOUS souvenir shop... I came very close to buying a large silver belt buckle with an eagle and a flag on it, but in the end America just wasn't worth the $16.



Kate and Balanced Rock
Brothers!
We ate lunch at Souper Salad, a soup and salad buffet (along with taco, potatoes, and nachos of course). Kate was very excited.

Kate is still excited
Our server, Matt, was very upbeat and extroverted.... lets venture a guess, amphetamines.... managed to (in a socially awkward and psychotic manner) jokingly accuse Kate of sneaking food into the bathroom, make jokes about dr pepper being called "dr... dr.... nurse.... pepper... nurse.... dr nurse pepper! ah hahahah!" and telling james his girlfriend came in the door to which we turned around and noticed a very large woman walking through the door. Needless to say we gave him a large tip.
