GLENWOOD SPRINGS GETAWAY


This weekend I finally got a Saturday off so we decided to make the best of it. We packed the car, loaded everybody inside and took off for Glenwood Springs, CO.
It is an almost 3 hour drive into the mountains. We stayed at Hotel Colorado. Its a historical hotel there. The hotel itself has had many famous visitors in the past including, President William Howard Taft, President Theodore Roosevelt, and Molly Brown. Its really quite the interesting hotel, especially if you like historical stuff. It is so old that there is a notice that tells you to allow at least 7 minutes for the hot water to come through your shower, depending on the demand of water at the time!!



We went to the hot springs there. It was a little on the salty side of things but all in all a experience to say at least we went there.




This is when it really started to get cold when the sun went down
.

And then the drive home!!
