Hey, it's Amanda again. Here are five fun things to do in Colorado Springs, Colorado:

1. First, start the day with breakfast at Homa, a craft cafe with delicious oat milk, draft lattes, serving healthy breakfast and hand pies. 
2. Then, head to Garden of the Gods Park to experience these dramatic rock formations formed hundreds of millions of years ago. 
3. Next, head down to Old Colorado City to shop for local goodies like handmade candles, chocolate and a build-your-own bouquet bar. 
4. For lunch, Ivywild School is a must. This is an old elementary school turned food hall with a cocktail bar, gourmet pizza and outdoor patio. 
5. Finally, wind down at Local Relic, a 120-year-old chapel that's been transformed into a brewery, cocktail bar and wine bar.
