Cup and Cone Ice Cream Parlor

Here in the land of warmth and Sunshine, ice cream is one of the necessities of life...or at least my boys seem to think so.  They are always asking to go to Cup and Cone Ice Cream Parlor.  It's become their treat of choice.

Royal Gorge Gourmet Popcorn Store

One of the great things about living in a small town is the fun, unique little "mom and pop" stores you can find.  I love shopping at these little slices of creativity and sweetness that show the American dream is still alive.

El Caporal Family Mexican Restaurant

I'm originally from Texas and I love a good enchilada, so it's not really a surprise that most of my favorite places to eat are Mexican restaurants.  That's usually one of the first places that I try to find to eat in a new town.

Canon City has a few Mexican restaurants and they are all local eateries owned and run by local people.  El Caporal Family Mexican Restaurant has turned out to be our favorite of all.
