The Prize: A Ski Trip for Two to Steamboat, Colorado
Last month Kim, Lucas and I headed to Colorado Springs so that I could attend BAcon aka Boarding Area Conference.
.
We flew from NYC to Denver and then rented a car to drive to Colorado Springs. We could’ve flown directly to Colorado Springs but one of our favorite airlines for domestic flights, Southwest does not fly there.
.
We arrived in Denver a few hours before we needed to get to Colorado Springs and wanted to visit some sights or do something fun. However, we were all exhausted from our 4 am wake up for our flight so we opted to go for lunch.
.
I knew from before we left that we wouldn’t want to first start looking up where to eat when we got to Denver so I had done my research beforehand .

During our visit to Colorado for the Boarding Area Conference (BAcon) a couple of weeks back, we had a fun night out thanks to Randy Petersen and the BA team. The plans were a surprise, with the location revealed to us just before the event.
The Saturday night festivities took place in an old recording studio (the name escapes me) which looked like a old auto garage or something along those lines.
The event featured live music from an authentic cowboy band- Flying W Wranglers and really tasty barbecue from Rudy’s.

During our weekend in Colorado for the Boarding Area Conference (BAcon), a first happened. Kim got kicked out of a place due to Lucas.
I was busy all weekend attending seminars about blogging, learning new tips and tricks to make my site better. Kim, Lucas and other +1’s (of BAcon attendees) didn’t have much planned, so the organizers- Boarding Area/ Randy Petersen arranged for a day at the historic Broadmoor Hotel’s Spa.
.
For Kim, going to a spa wasn’t going to be easy without some help with Lucas.

While heading back to Denver from Colorado Springs we decided to stop at Garden of the Gods, a National Natural Landmark.
We were in Colorado Springs for the BoardingArea Conference aka BAcon. The conference was a great experience. I learned some new things which I will try to put into practice to improve the blog in the future. I also met many great people and fellow bloggers, the bulk being from travel blog aggregator site BoardingArea.

After taking a few pictures of Kim and Lucas, it was time for some jumping shots.
I got to work, jumping right away and caused a few chuckles from other visitors in the process. I’m really happy with how the pictures came out!

While heading back to the car, I saw a guy juggling. It looked really cool with the blue sky and the pins flying in the air. The pictures were so awesome that I offered to e-mail them to the juggler.
If you decide to visit Colorado Springs, I’d definitely recommend a visit to the Garden of Gods. It’s probably a good idea to get there early since this seemed to be a very popular sight. I’d love to go back and have more time to explore the park in the future.
Garden of Gods is located at 1805 N.30th St in Colorado Springs, CO. You can read more about the park online HERE.
