At one time the Simpich family had a factory there. They stopped production in the not so distant past. One of their children had a puppet theater and added the museum after the factory closed.

We did our tour down the center of the state starting (after flying into Denver, of course) in Fort Collins to visit with my hubby's nephew and going as far south as Alamosa and the Great Nat'l Sand Dunes. I really regret not visiting the southwest corner of the state but hubby said there was no time - so instead we spent 3 days in Manitou Springs ::sigh:: I'd go back in a heartbeat - thanks for taking me there again : - DSkeleton In My Closethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01853277237059066479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090806707176328615.post-28432798603396287392010-08-31T10:36:28.254-07:002010-08-31T10:36:28.254-07:00Hello and Welcome Juanita!!!

You didn't say anything about feeling dizzy or sick most people find the air too thin when they arrive at the point. So sounds like you did pretty well.Every picture you took reminded of my daily drive into Colo spgs. to go to work. I used to love that drive especially in the summer, the mountains were always about 10 degrees cooler and I always felt like I was headed to a vacation home instead of where we lived. It's a very peaceful place to live.

OMG , OMG , OMG!!!!I almost died and were it not for devine providence , we all could have died. Seriously,once I realized where I was, I panicked and came to a complete stop , mind you it was nightfall,there were other cars behind me and others passing me, I was close to tears. The rest was a blur, my dh somehow got in the drivers seat and drove us off, I cannot remember. So hats off to you!!!<br />blessings,FloraFlorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06417865466491233470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090806707176328615.post-7372886522267501912010-08-23T10:51:12.320-07:002010-08-23T10:51:12.320-07:00Flora, I was "lucky" enough to get to dr...Flora, I was "lucky" enough to get to drive out of some of those mountains.

My dream was to see the Eiffel tower and go to the top. I saw that little elevator grinding with 50 people and said no way! So I took pics from the bottom. One day I hope to get a chance to do it again but doubt it. I missed my chance.<br /> That bridge would have done me in. I have a whole another reason for fearing bridges and it is understandable to most folks.<br /> Glad you are home and you made it through okay. I think the boys should send you to a spa for a weekend just for not killing them!
