Glenwood Springs, CO..... We made it!

We have been planning a trip to Glenwood Springs, CO for a couple of months now... and last week was the time we were going to go. We arranged with some friends to meet us there and spend the weekend with us. Well thursday came and we looked at the weather and saw that it was going to be awful traveling there... while we were there and then coming home. So we decided to postpone the trip. We emailed our friends and told them we weren't going to go and that we would plan another time that we would all get together and go. Well Friday Cameron got home from work and there was an email letting us know that they decided to go anyway and it was amazing. The weather was amazing, the water was amazing and that we were missing out and they wished we were there. Well we both decided that we would pack up and go. So friday night about 7 we got in the car and we drove to Grand Junction, CO. Saturday morning we woke up and went the rest of the way.

Can I just say that.... that we love

****GLENWOOD SPRINGS****

Here the kids are... so excited to get out of the cold and into the warm water. You can still see the snow on the mountains... IT WAS COLD!

Here Derek is after we got out.... he was too cold to smile. The little goofball!

Courtney and Derek with their snorkle gear!! I was surprised at how well the caught on to snorkling! They loved it! I guess we have to now take them somewhere that they can actually see fish!

I love this picture... gotta love the hair. That wasn't planned... that is what he looked like after he took off his mask!

After our fingers couldnt take the salt water anymore we got out and toured the sites of Glenwood Springs. We went to the grave site of Doc Holiday. It was a little hike up a hill but it was a lot of fun to get out and enjoy the outdoors.

Top of the mountain, looking over the valley!

After the hike my Uncle Ray told us that we needed to go into this old Hotel that several of our Presidents and many other famous poeple came to visit. People use to think that these Natural Hot Springs were a cure all for many illnesses. That is why Doc Holiday came and where he died and also many other people. The Hotel Colorado was built in the late 1800's and on their walls have pictures of everyone who has stayed there. Derek asked us if it was a haunted hotel and right after Cameron said no... the pipes started to creek and crack... we all got bright eyed and then laughed! It was a good time.
