River's 1st "Fourteener" : Pike's Peak with Nana and G.pop

A highlight from Nana and Grandpa Stevenson's visit was going to the top of Pikes Peak,  one of the 14,000 peaks in Colorado (14,110 to be exact). 

We grabbed brunch at a yummy European Cafe  in Manitou Springs, and then caught the Cog Wheel Railway up to the top.




















A View from the Top :







 It was a lot of fun. River did really well even though it got windy and cold at the top, we just beat out a storm. Good thing we brought layers to bundle up. The landscape sure does change as you go up in elevation. It was a beautiful ride on the way up and the views from the summit were amazing! The donuts at the top were delicious and one of a kind, I mean how many donuts can you get that are cooked 14,000 ft up?
I guess that's why they're called "World Famous Pikes Peak Donuts"

What a fun fun day, but really any day we get to play with Nana and G.pop 
are always Fun!
