This past weekend Jake and I took a trip to Colorado with our friends Jeremy and Stacy to Glenwood Springs. Jake's parents and his sister, Eden, took Coop for the weekend so we could get away. We can't thank them enough for taking such good care of our little man. This was the longest we've ever been away (3 days). It was hard and we missed him like crazy, but we had a BLAST, and he enjoyed being spoiled!
We left at 4 AM Friday. Once we got to Glenwood Springs we rode the tram up the mountain to Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park. We picked a good day to go and the park wasn't busy at all.
The BEST part of the park.....This ride swings over the canyon below....1300 feet above the Colorado River. AMAZING!
We took a tour through the caverns to cool off.
Relaxed and enjoyed the view.
And had some good quality time with friends.
Jeremy, Stacy and I watched the 4-D movie while Jake laid in the back trying to recover from going on the swing one too many times.
Jake and Jeremy tried to crawl though this box that mimics crawling through a cave. I was fine just posing for a picture in it.
Riding the tram down at the end of the day.
Seriously, it's a gorgeous town!
The next day Jake and I went on a bike ride up Red Mountain.
Here's the view from the top. This is actually where the para-gliders fly from. Sooo much fun!
That night we went to Glenwood hot springs pool to relax. You can't really tell by the picture, but the pool is like a city block long! Supposedly the hot springs dump 3 1/2 million gallons of water into the pool everyday!
Our last day here we went on a hike to Hanging Lake.
One of the prettiest hikes we've ever been on.
Just past the lake is Spouting Rock.

Thanks to Jeremy and Stacy for helping us to have such a fun vacation! If you are looking for a weekend getaway we would totally recommend this place!
It feels good to be back home though!

Totally looks like a blast!!! I wanna go there now. Glad you two had so much fun!
What a fun trip. That swing over the canyon looks awesome. I bet you did miss your little guy. We left Bailee for the first time over night at my in laws in February to celebrate our anniversary, its the first time we've left her over night & she was almost two lol.
That looks like such a fun place! It is only 3 hours away from where my parents are moving, I'll have to tell them about it, those empty nesters are gonna need some weekend get away ideas :)
How fun! I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little jealous I couldn't come;)
