Hi all.  We just got home.  We had a wonderful day in Colorado Springs.  The first stop was lunch at Ted&#39;s Montana Grill, which are owned by Ted Turner (yes ladies, I stuck to the plan), then we strolled over to Kirkland Home and I picked up a great vase.  Then we went to the U.S. Air Force Academy.  It is so beautiful there - I am attaching pics I took.  The grounds are huge and it takes some time to see everything so we were there several hours, did a lot of walking.  As we were leaving, the military police were coming out of their building and had their red lights running, so of course we had to pull over and wait for 4 cars of them.  As we approached the security gates, they ran out of the guard shacks and closed the gates.  I thought this was strange because they were letting people in, but not out.  They finally came and told us that an alarm on base had been sounded and until they determined what it was, no one was allowed to leave the premises.  After about 8 minutes, they opened the gates and let everyone out.  Then we went to the Garden of the Gods - it is just gorgeous there.  Attaching pics from there also.  They had a T-shirt in the gift shop at the USAF Academy that had some kind of bomber jet on it and it had a take off of either FedEx or UPS&#39;s old slogan &quot;When it positively has to be there overnight&quot; - it said AIR FORCE - when it positively has to be destroyed overnight.  Greg and I both got one.  It was a perfect day&#33;&#33;&#33;<br /><br /><b>The Chapel at the United States Air Force Academy</b><br /><img src="http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k96/cherylfuller/100_2377.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /><br /><br /><b>Pipe organ inside the chapel, it is 32 feet tall</b><br /><img src="http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k96/cherylfuller/100_2387.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /><br /><br /><b>Close up of some of the pipes</b><br /><img src="http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k96/cherylfuller/100_2390.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /><br /><br /><b>Air Force Academy</b><br /><img src="http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k96/cherylfuller/100_2399.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /><br /><br /><b>Garden of the Gods</b><br /><img src="http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k96/cherylfuller/100_2412.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k96/cherylfuller/100_2414.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k96/cherylfuller/100_2417.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />
