For Christmas in 2023, Blake and I invited our parents to stay with us and celebrate the holidays in Colorado Springs. We took the opportunity to take them on a tour of the city, eat at our favorite restaurants, and enjoy their company in our new-ish home. My Dad and I took a train to the top of Pikes Peak, everyone visited the Colorado Springs Zoo, and we stopped by the Gaylord Rockies for their Christmas-themed cirque. It was a great time, and we can't wait to have them over again!
