Unique Opportunity

One of the "perks" of our job is that we occasionally have time to stop at a "point of interest". Yesterday we were traveling through Colorado Springs, CO and I noticed that we had a couple of hours to spare, so we stopped in at the Focus on the Family headquarters. WOW! We were both amazed at the scope of the ministries they have. We knew about some of them, but there were soooo many that we didn't know about. We had an awesome time (albeit a bit too short). There was a giant bookstore (we only had time to run through there--fortunately for our pocketbooks). We took a tour of the Administration Building and saw the studio where Dr. Dobson records his radio programs. I have to admit, though, we spent most of our time there at Wit's End. First, I have to tell you there are 3 ways to get downstairs to Wit's End. One, the stairs. Two, the elevator. And, three, a giant slide (see pictures). I couldn't convince Tim to try the slide and I was too chicken to do it alone. When you get downstairs it is a child's paradise! WOW! So many rooms with colorful murals....puppets to play with...other toys too. You can also have an opportunity to record your own Adventures in Odessey in which you get to be a character in the show and they will give you a free CD with that recording (unfortunately we didn't have the time to do that). We did take the time to eat lunch in Wit's Soda Fountain. :) If you are looking for a place to take your next family vacation I HIGHLY reccomend Colorado Springs! I can't wait to get by there again. You really need a whole day just to see everything at Focus on the Family! Not to mention all the other great places to go and see nearby!
