Knowing we wanted to check out some of the sights in the Colorado Springs area, we picked the Cripple Creek KOA to serve as our base. Looks like we chose well. Located just outside of the historic gold mining towns of Victor and Cripple Creek, this campground is nestled in the mountainside 10,000 feet. As we look out from our campsite we’re reminded of the opening scene from The Sound of Music! Even at 10,000 feet there’s much taller mountains all around. So glad we’ve chosen to make this a three night stay!
Aboard the Norwegian Jewel we’ve made stops in Cozumel, Mexico and Georgetown, Grand Cayman to explore beyond our previous experiences here. Soon we’ll be making our way to ports we’ve not yet explored in the Southern Caribbean.
What a treat to pause for a BBQ lunch with the locals at Pearl Country Store and Barbecue on US-441 in Micanopy, Florida. It’s a taste of the Florida we remeber from our youth.
By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
