PETERSON AFB

lIVING IN COLORADO SPRINGS IS GREAT FOR MANY REASONS. THE WEATHER IS AWESOME WITH MANY SUNNY DAYS AND YOU STILL GET THE BEAUTIFUL SNOW IN THE WINTER. THE SNOW USUALLY LASTS ONLY A FEW DAYS IF ITS A SMALL STORM. SHOPPING HERE IS GREAT. THERE ARE TWO HUGE MALLS FILLED WITH BARGAINS. AND IF THAT'S NOT ENOUGH, YOU CAN FIND A THRIFT STORE JUST ABOUT ON EVERY MAJOR STREET IN TOWN. THERE MUST BE AT LEAST 15- 20 DIFFERENT ONES TO FREQUENT. RESTAURANTS ARE POPPING UP ALL ALONG THE EAST SIDE. THERE IS JUST ABOUT ANY CHAIN RESTAURANT YOU CAN THINK OF. OUR FAMILY DOESN'T BORE OF THE SELECTION. OUR SON PLAYS HOCKEY SO THE CHAPILL HILLS MALL HAS AN INDOOR ICE ARENA. THE SCHOOLS ARE GREAT TOO. WE LIVE IN WALKING DISTANCE TO THE SCHOOL AND PARK OVER ON THE EAST SIDE OFF OF POWERS BLVD. THE SCHOOL HAS A GREAT REPUTATION AND OUR KIDS LOVE IT. LIVING HERE IS FUN. GREAT ZOO RIGHT ON THE MOUNTAIN, A SPECTACULAR VIEW OF THE MOUNTAINS, AND LOTS OF STARBUCKS COFFEE TO KEEP YOU WARM.
