Dan and I had our 11th anniversary on October 6th, which happened to be a Monday, and he happened to not be working! See, he often works on the weekends and gets a comp day on Mondays. With the kids at school that equals a date for us!
We decided to do something a little different, and we got tickets to ride the train at the Royal Gorge down in Canon City.

The views were very interesting. It was a lot more rocky than we expected. We partially went to see some fall foliage, but there wasn't any!
There were lots of abandoned pipe lines, water ways, buildings and artifacts along the railways.
The railway goes under the Royal Gorge Bridge, which is apparently the world's highest suspension bridge (partially because of the starting altitude).
At one point of the ride you could look down on the rails and see tons of coins! I'm sure the workers come by and make a few bucks!
We had fun doing something different and enjoying some time with each other! 11 years down, eternity to go! :) Man I love that guy!
