[baby-moon/ early 3yr anniversary]

two weeks ago now, peter and i headed south for a mini-getaway. our reason for celebration: last pre-baby extravaganza and an early 3yr anniversary!! Our destination: the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs. We'd never been there before, but by all the recommendations we had gotten/heard about it, we decided to take the plunge.

yes friends, this is where we stayed!

now, since its a tad pricy (as you can probably tell), peter and i only stayed ONE night, but it was a delightful one. we honestly commented to each other several times how we felt like royalty. the amenities were fabulous, the food was exquisite and the hospitality remarkable. we'll definitely be headed back there again...

we even had the wait staff bring us this lovely plate the following morning. of course they brought it AFTER we had already eaten breakfast, so we took a few pictures for memory and packed it up to eat later.

the last stop we made on our way home was to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo...a definite tourist stop. not only is it a zoo...but it's a zoo built into the side of a mountain. talk about a workout at 36 wks pregnant! unfortunately we didn't make it all the way to the top, i was dog tired, but we did visit all sorts of animals. by far the funnest stop was by the giraffe exhibit. they built it in such a way that you literally walk right up the neck/face level of the giraffes and are able to feed them crackers. here's peter and i "attempting" to do that....oh boy...those tongues were huuuuuuuge!
