Today began our glorious holiday. I have not remembered what it is to travel without children and to be self-indulgent and really go on break. We are staying at this gorgous inn, way, way off the beaten track called the Red Rooster Inn. http://red-rooster-inn.com/welcome2.htm
We have the best room in the inn, and it has a gorgeous view and the sun rises over the Sopas Valley and is stunning. We're staying in the Lavender Room (and it really DOES smell like lavender, with home-made lavender, and wake-em-up-mint soap and fresh lavender in the bathroom). Here's some pix of the room:
This picture is of the view out of our bedroom windows:
We also bought the "spa package" which included a massage at the Splendor Mountain Day Spa (a local's favorite). Tomorrow, we'll be visiting the Yampa's Vapor Caves and the renown Glenwood Springs Pool. We are also considering visiting a castle...
We ate at a "local's choice" restaurant called "The River" and it was great. John had citrus crusted halibut, and I had a warm spinach/walnut salad with bacon, feta cheese, and a specialty basalmic vinaigrette. Dessert was amazing. John had the smoothest raspberry sorbet, and I had a bourbon-sweetened pecan pie. It was the best pecan pie I've ever had.
We're having a great time, and I hope those who are with my children know how much we appreciate them!

Looks amazing. I've been wanting to go somewhere without my kids forever! Looks like your in heaven. I didn't know you have 4 kids. I guess time flies when you don't see someone for awhile! Max is so cute. I think the last time I saw you, you had just had Ace.
