One of our favorite places in the spring is Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs.  There's a short writeup on it in CTJ.  We like sitting and having coffee and a snack in the visitor's center overlooking Pikes Peak and hiking through the red rock monuments.  The Trading Post is also a great place to shop.  They have really nice artwork.

We really like Village Pizza.  It's in the Stanley Village Shopping Center at the intersection of 34 and Elkhorn.  We always look forward to eating there when we're in town and also like the smoothie shop in the same center.
