This past week my friend Kimmy (from Ventura by way of Houston) came to the Springs with her boyfriend as he had an annual work conference to attend.  They chose to (more like Kimmy forced her boyfriend) extend their stay so we could come down for a visit.  Yesterday morning we departed bright and early to meet them at their hotel.  From there we all conquered our first 14er (mountain over 14,000-feet in elevation) and had an incident with an Audi, then we strolled around Garden of the Gods where I nearly got in trouble for throwing a “rock” at Kimmy and she and Chad were subjected to park “ranger” paparazzi.  Then it was off to their new hotel, dinner and we returned home.

We had a blast and now it’s our turn to visit them down in Texas.
