Mini-Vacation to Colorado Springs

Last week Tuesday and Wednesday Paul had to work down in Colorado Springs, so we decided to take a mini-vacation and stay overnight in a hotel for a couple of nights. The first night didn't go well. Torin unfortunately was sick with a high fever and the pool's (that had an awesome slide) temperature was just above freezing. The hotel in general was not very nice so we actually stayed somewhere else the second night.
I think this is what they term a 'family bed'. It ain't happening in this family that's for sure. I know it works for some families but Paul and I both enjoy sleeping without getting kicked, rolled on, and punched throughout the night.
Paul had to work during the day, so we hung out some of the time eating snacks, playing toys, and watching Mickey Mouse on tv!


We stayed at the Radisson the second night which was right next to the airport. We also were right next to this restaurant called 'The Airplane Restaurant' where you actually can eat inside of this airplane. Torin LOVED it!

We checked out how everything worked on the outside first before we went in to eat.
And after we ate, Torin was able to 'fly' the airplane in the cockpit for a while. He said he was just like Kurt!
This was probably the highlight of the trip for Torin. He didn't want to leave the restaurant and ironically enough, it was the best he had been in a restaurant in a LONG time. If only all restaurants were made out of airplanes.
This was the next best thing for Torin, swimming! The hotel the second night had a wonderful pool that was nice, warm and perfect for swimming.
