Dave and I joined some friends who just moved to the area in the Colorado Springs area Parade of Homes. Unlike other Parades I’d been to in other communities, this one requires you to drive all over the city to see the houses in assorted neighborhoods.<\/p>\n

In the Banning Lewis Ranch neighborhood<\/a>, about 10 minutes from our house, was a house that had a youth bedroom decorated like a hunting lodge.<\/p>\n
