Glenwood Getaway

Diamond had a quick business trip to Glenwood Springs, CO this past week, so we decided we would make it an Adventure and all come along and enjoy a quick getaway to the mountains.

We stumbled across the most serene mountain stream where the boys threw rocks and were fascinated by the ice-formations along the bank of the creek. I literally stared singing "Annie's Song" by John Denver while sitting by the water. (Ya know, "You fill up my senses, like walk in the forest..."

Thanks to a recommendation from my friend Whitney, we stayed at the AmericInn which boasted this WAY cool pool inside the hotel. Best part? You can see the entire pool while sitting in the hot tub!

We were the only people at the pool for the majority of the time, and the boys tuned into their 'inner-salmon' and started to climb backwards up the waterslide. *yikes*

Of course they still managed to play ball!

The Caboose loved the kiddie portion of the pool. The entire pool was quite shallow, so he was able to really enjoy himself.

The next day the boys decided they wanted to ride the gondola.

The views were breathtaking.

Our little getaway was the perfect way to "fill up" before hitting the upcoming stresses of the Holidays.
