Headed south after a slow morning. Drove for miles and miles.
Missed turns, mixed up round-a-bouts, and such. Ended up in Colorado Springs at
an REI to replace lost/broken silver(plastic)ware... at a Garage Sale. $150 and
silverware later, we found a laundromat, and Pumpkin's greatest attitude to
date. She missed out on fancy drinks and didn't get her clothes dried with the
rest; when you tell mom she's mean and doesn't do anything for you and then refuses
to have a conversation about the rude attitude, you learn how to hang your
clothes to dry in the hotel.
The EcoLodge had a nice room but the rest of the
building was fairly run down! The kids and I showered and watched a few Disney
movies. When the aunt and cousins arrived, we didn't even
settle in together before heading to downtown Colorado Springs for Bar-B-Q. A
place featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. The line was so long that we
wandered down the street a number of blocks and then settled on Jorge's for
Mexican food. The burrito as excellent, everything else was good enough. But
the margaritas! Holy Bugumba were they strong and delicious! Back to the hotel
where one person showered and everyone went right to sleep.
