Two readers!

Kudos to Allison for reading - you've inspired me to do another post!

Ahh...Labor Day Weekend. Late Thursday night we decided to check to see if we could find a reasonably placed hotel in the mountains for a night or two. We did manage to book a suite in Carbondale, CO which is in between Glenwood Springs and Aspen. Having a suite is key so that we can put Henry to bed or to nap in the bedroom and we can be in the main room. We also found a place that would let us bring Sundance.

It was a lot of fun! We packed in a hurry and hit the road in the middle of the afternoon after Nate got off work.

We had a lovely drive through the mountains with a short stop to visit our friends Pat and Krissy. Saturday was a perfect day in the mountains - clear and mid 70s. We woke up early (well, Henry woke up early and Nate entertained him until I could drag myself out of bed at 6:45). We went for a great hike with a fabulous view of Mount Sopris, had a late lunch at a Mexican restaurant in Carbondale, and spent some time in the world-famous springs of Glenwood Springs. We also managed to squeeze a nap in for Henry. Henry seemed to like the hike in the hiking carrier we have for him, which made it much easier for Nate and I to enjoy the scenery.

The springs were amazing - HUGE and lot of fun. I'd definitely recommend a trip there and I'm sure we'll go again at some point.

Sunday the weather was not as good but we still had a nice day. We drove to Aspen and stopped along the continental divide and a few other spots for some great views. We stopped in Leadville for lunch and then back home.

It was great and I'm glad we pulled it off at the last minute!

I think we got some great pictures and will attempt to post those at some point.
