Today we went to The Royal Gorge Bridge, world's highest bridge, and holy cow was it high. We took a bunch of back county roads that we were told about by one of the locals, we winded and weaved through mountains and little farms, it was a gorgeous ride. The bridge itself is incredible, when you walk on it, you can fill it swaying under your feet, and when you looked down you can see the river 1000 ft. down through the slats, in fact Chris got so freaked out about it we didn't make it all the way across by foot (don't tell him I told you). So we took the trolley across, where we had lunch, hamburgers, onion rings and chicken strips.

We are headed across the bridge on the Trolley
While we waited for lunch to be made Jace found a train to play on
After lunch me, Chris and the Boy's decided to take the Ariel Tram back to the other side, to get to it we had to hike up a steeep, steeeep, hill, almost a mile long to get to, so by the time you got up there you really earned it. 32 of us were backed into that little thing, so tight you couldn't even move and as we went across the wind swung us back and forth. I don't think Chris could get to the other side fast enough, he kept thinking about how it is made and that we were only being held by a single cable.
This whole trip all Jace has talked about is trains and we have been this whole trip trying to find a real train for him to ride, but this will have to do for now. It has kind of became the the theme of this trip, hopefully we will find one before we head home.
