The Royal Gorge



As all of you know, Mom and Dad were here for the weekend! We had such a good time! Saturday Mom and I hung out and shopped while Jonathan and Dad went golfing. Sunday we went to church and on the way home Dad asked if we had ever been to the Royal Gorge. Don't make fun, but I didn't even know what it was! Jonathan had been there once in about '93, not recent enough to remember, so we decided to check it out. We got on their website while at home, and when we saw that it was $25 per person we thought, "Just to walk across a bridge?" We decided it was something you probably only do once in your life so we would bite the bullet on the cost. It is only about an hour away from our house so we loaded the car with only a couple waters to drink and headed out. Well, 7 hours later we were on our way home from a wonderful adventure!! Turns out they've made it into quite the attraction, with shops, food, "rides" and a short movie!

The sky trolley that Mom and Dad rode but I was too scared.. Can you believe Mom rode it?!

What a great day!! Thanks, Mom and Dad!
