Glenwood...and all around~

In the middle of July, just the three of us enjoyed an amazing get-a-way! We're kinda hangin' low this summer, so we're going to explore some areas that are close to us. I had never been to Aspen, so off we went...well actually we HAD to stop in Red Stone to get our FAV ice cream and play in the river for a few...

next stop, Aspen

We hit it on a great weekend, there was an "art in the park" going on, farmers market, and many other street vendors out. I must admit, the place was cute and all....but seriously a kids button-up shirt for $116...PLEASE~ There's nice and there's just dumb!

Our next stop was Glenwood- we found a cute pizza place, which we loved and Griffin even got a sucker after, so he was really excited. Our next stop was target, I got a tankini and Griffin got a very masculine lady bug floaty. Of course, it was like 830pm by the time we got back from our shopping, but we still had to let the little guy have a quick swim. Thankfully, it didn't last long 'cause it was cold and getting really dark. So back to our hotel room we went for some bedtime cuddling!

The next morning we woke up with great intentions of exploring the caves...we got there just in time to catch the next tour, but we decided to wait until the top to purchase the tickets-bad mistake. That tour sold out and so did the next. We were going to have to wait like an hour and a half before we even started and then I think it lasted an hour...so that would have put us past 1 with no lunch...so we decided to just try that one again some other time...although we did enjoy the ride up on the gondola.

After we decided to come back when he's a bit older, we wanted to find something he would at least enjoy up there; and we sure did, they had a huge sand box with truck and shovels and such...

This next part was the best part, because the decision was made totally on the fly. We were at the gas station fueling up to head to junction to try to find a pool to spend the rest of the afternoon. It was a bit of a sad feeling knowing the morning was such a flop and we had been turn down by a local hotel to use their pool because it was a weekend and only the customers could use it. (You can pay to use it all week, but not on the weekends) So, I just casually asked Jeff what he thought of us staying another night in Glenwood and getting up early Monday morning for him to make it back to work. This would allow us to stay at the hotel and use there indoor "water park." He was totally game and that's just what we did. We had a blast. We went right then and got in the pool and spent the rest of the morning there. They have two great slides, zero entry pool, a hot tub and a basket ball hoop! Then for lunch we had Quedoba :-)! We went for a drive and Griffin took his nap and we ended up in Carbondale. It is such a great place! Wonderful park and such a cute main street. I hit a consignment store and scored a few pairs of jeans! There was even a concert in the park. Oh man, what a great day. We finished the day off with Chinese and one more trip to the pool! Six in the morning came fast, but it was totally worth the extra day and I loved being with my GUYS!
