The Broadmoor

So the last 4 days of our vacation were spent at the Broadmoor in Colorado Springs. Wow. Soooo out of our league. We chose it because 1) it's a highly ranked tennis resort; and 2) my mom and dad had stayed there previously and loved it. Once we checked in, we didn't want to leave. So we didn't. Except to go eat a few times. We just lounged . . . . and it was wonderful. Here's some shots of our room:

A dressing "area" -

Seriously could have spent 2 days in the bathroom - beautiful!!

Noah, our little prince . . .

Our other little prince, who actually CHOSE the cot. Said it was more comfortable. (???) I doubt it.

The pool area . . . .

Jack took advantage of the tennis program and had private lessons every day. Noah preferred lounging . . . until the last day, when he joined in on a lesson.

One night we didn't feel like going out for dinner so Mark called the front desk to see if we could order pizza from Dominoes. The mere fact we thought we'd better check first should have been our clue as to what their answer would be. He was met with a "umm, NO." So we had to order from room service. 2 pizzas = $50.00. But they definitely made it fancy:

These fancy little sitting areas and lobbies were EVERYWHERE.

This was our elevator lobby. Gorgeous. We spent a couple evenings here playing games.

On the way to our room were 2 massive hallways lined with hundreds of photos of celebrities that had stayed there. I'm talking EVERYONE from John Wayne to Aerosmith to President Bush. It was fascinating.

We spent these days sitting by the pool, sleeping until 9:30, reading, playing games and watching movies in our room. It was magnificent. I'm still cherishing that time we had together!
