First Impressions

As our sun kissed faces looked down from the tin can sized SkyWest airplane, I couldn't help but notice the snow tipped mountains we were flying over. After we landed, the reality that we have put the tropical lifestyle on hold truly sank in.

My first impressions of Colorado Springs: it looked like a prairie and I swear I saw Little House. Where were all the trees? And I sure as heck didn't any Springs!

20 minutes north of the airport, and an increase of 2000 feet in elevation - we saw Casa de Lang (isn't Spanish a first language on the mainland?) my face did light up a bit.

I was impressed - we did a pretty good job making all those decisions via email. Not to mention Adam with Classic Homes was truly a godsend for us!

With a huge sigh of relief, we ventured out to see more of the area that will be home for the next 3 years . . . .

We've traded in boonie dogs and chickens for boonie deer and foul of some sort. They looked like turkeys to me...

Statues of various American Frontier themes have replaced the palm trees that used to dot our landscape...
