Valentine's day weekend

Zach and I decided to take a trip down to Colorado Springs for Valentine's day this year. We wanted to go to Glenwood Springs, but they seemed all booked up already. But the Springs was super fun too :) We drove down on Friday and had dinner at a brewery that was supposed to be good, and was conveniently right across the street from our hotel. While we were there the couple at the table next to us got engaged, they were super loud about it and we got front row seats.

On Saturday morning we had the best breakfast ever at the hotel's fancy restaurant, for only $6, pretty good deal.

Then we went to Garden of the Gods, apparently it was mountain goat day, so Smokey Bear was there.

Zach likes to deliberately disobey signs

Stay on the path Zach

Then we went to the Cheyenne Zoo, and spent forever there :) We learned lots of things, like giraffes have really gross tongues, moose like buckets on their heads, wolfs are just ugly dogs, hippos are the grossest eaters ever, and if a zebra, horse, and giraffe had a baby it would look like this:

Hello Okapi

1) Why wasn't Smokey there when I was at Garden of the Gods!? Did you prevent any forest fires?
2) The giraffe face is the weirdest part of the okapi, if it's possible to pick a part.
3) Is that meerkat sitting down like a human?
