Colorado , travel. Not all of your vacation has to be enjoyed outside. Check out our experience on how we made the most of our visit to Colorado Springs. I have been to Colorado Springs many times, but to be honest I never left the airport. After a few decades as an airline pilot I realized that this is one of those bucket list places I wanted to see from the ground, not just from the air as we criss-crossed the country.
What to do? I joined an online dating site and met someone who seemed to be a good fit. There are a few twists and turns to the story. It turns out that she is from another country. In fact she lives over 5, miles away on a different continent. Communicating online is a wonderful thing but there is nothing quite like meeting someone in person, so we decided that we should meet face to face. So how did we end up in Colorado Springs?
It turns out that my match if you will, has relatives in Colorado. She was visiting for an extended period and we decided to meet at a neutral location. I live in the midwest and she was already in Colorado so we picked Colorado Springs. As it turned out it was a great choice. So many great places to stay and eat. So many beautiful and interesting sites to visit. I contacted Alluvia Spa to set up appointments for late afternoon on the Saturday of our visit.
There were a wide variety of treatments available. We found the setting to be absolutely beautiful as we drove in to the Cheyenne Mountain Resort complex from a sightseeing drive we took earlier in the day. We had not eaten since breakfast so we stopped at the Mountain View Restaurant located in the main building. What a wonderful way to enjoy the view of the front range.
Huge windows framed by wood beams create a beautiful setting for any meal. For us it was really nice to have a peaceful place to talk and get to know each other better. After our late lunch we hopped back in the car and continued down the driveway to the Alluvia Spa.
