Glenwood Springs

Last month, Gilby and I took an awesome and much needed overnight trip to Glenwood Springs...without kids! We LOVE our kids, but it's nice to get a little break once in awhile.

We spent the first day hiking Hanging Lake, which was indeed beautiful just as everyone said it would be.

The next day we lounged at the Glenwood Springs Hot Springs, a resort created around naturally occurring mineral hot springs.

It was really great to just be together without the chaos that the kids can bring, and it was so quiet without our VERY LOUD children. Plus, we were able to enjoy another beautiful area of Colorado.

The Colorado River as seen from my morning run. Nature is my happy place.

I think the kids had just as much fun spending a couple of days with two of their favorite people - Grandma and Grandpa!
