Air Force Academy & Garden of the Gods


The Air Force Academy was not on our itinerary, but we saw it and decided to stop. 
In the visitor center, there is a video to introduce you to the Academy. There are also displays that show the growth of leadership over the four years spent here.
We walked up to the chapel in the middle of the academy grounds. 

We learned a lot about this place that has produced many of our nation's leaders.
Next, we headed to Garden of the Gods.

They had some fun indoor exhibits to talk about the geology and history of the area.

Then we went outside and took a driving tour of the "garden".


After our tour, we had some dinner, and then headed back to the visitor center because they were having an astronomy night. Below is one of the kids looking into a telescope, but it was too dark to get a good picture.
