THE BROADMOOR RESORT, Colorado Springs, CO
 The beautiful facade of the Broadmoor Resort--a place where celebrities and royals mingle--and, oh yeah, throw in a couple of Santa Fesanos as well......
 Can you say "Fancy Dancy"? And this is just a sitting room, not the main lobby....
 It took a flower shop full of roses to make this display....

 Dwight out in one of the courtyards....

Diana resting in a pleasant little alcove....

 Some trim in the Ballroom that looks like the Palace of Versailles......

 Boating on the lake.....
 Looks like the Riviera, but it's Colorado....
 The guests have a choice of spots to swim and sun bathe....

 This is fine for me....
 In fact, I think I could get used to this, Dwightie....

 Part of the extensive art collection that includes lots of New Mexico Artists like this one from the Taos School.....

 Now, here is the vase I will need for my next arrangement for the Iris Show....

 Looks like Belle's library in THE BEAUTY AND THE BEAST.....

 Crouse, Taos School, "War Talk"'

 More SW art....

 Detail from a room that is solely a gallery of art.....
 Fetchin....
 Mosaic detail on the floor....

 More New Mexico art....
 Gardner working on the landscaping, it takes an army of staff workers to keep the Broadmoor in pristine condition.....
 For our Farewell Luncheon of the trip, we are dining at the Golden Bee moved to the grounds of the Broadmoor Resort from NYC where it had already been moved, piece by piece from London.  Sort of like the London Bridge....

 Cheers to you, my love, thanks for a lovely trip and here's to many more anniversaries to come.....
 "Mudd in your eye, matey!"....
 Details of the English pub bar--all the way from Merry-Olde-England.....
 More British bric-a-brac.....
 Blimey! but I had brilliant fish 'n chips, gov'nor.....
So ends our lovely Anniversary trip--AND A GOOD TIME WAS HAD BY ALL!!
