CO Day 7 - Pikes Peak

Friday we took a road trip with Grandma & Cousin Javar!
We drove to Manitou Springs to catch the cog rail up to Pikes Peak. It is the highest cog rail in the World!
Choo Choo!
It's only 8.9 miles from the train depot to the top but takes about an hour and fifteen minute to get up to Pike's Peak. Javar napped
and that's me napping under the covers. The sun was bright!
When I woke up, we made it to the top! It was about 30 degrees colder too with lots of wind!
Grandma stepped out for a bit but was feeling sick from the altitude change. And Baby J was really tired so they stayed on the train for most of the time :(
We were above all the clouds!
Just enjoying the view!I told you it was windy! :)Run daddy!!
....they were blowing the horn for everyone to get back on the train. We didn't want to miss it because it was the last train for the day and it would have been a long hike down!
Ah, back in the car and time for our milk!
