{Colorado 2025 Bucketlist}

We are so excited to be heading to Colorado Springs, Colorado for a whole week of fun, family time, and adventure! It’s a trip we’ve been looking forward to for a while now...and we’re extra grateful to get to experience it all together.

This trip is especially meaningful because our son Mason will be attending hockey camp at the Air Force Academy while we’re there (so cool, right?!), and we’ll be staying with sweet friends who opened their home to us for the week. With seven full days to explore, relax, and take it all in, we put together a bucket list of all the things we’d love to see and do while we're in town.

Some of these spots are iconic Colorado Springs must-dos, and some are just fun family-friendly adventures we’ve had on our radar for a while. Whether it’s soaking in the scenery, exploring quirky roadside spots, or grabbing coffee and local eats...we want to make the most of our time in this beautiful mountain town.
