The Best Vacation…

Mike and I took a mini-vacation this past week.  It was absolutely the BEST VACATION I have had in a long time.  It ranks right up there with beach vacations.   Why?  It was so relaxing.

We stayed in Motel 6.  They’ve redone the rooms in a retro look.  It was actually very appealing.

We stopped at Glenwood Spring, Colorado and went to the hot springs.  It was SO FUN.  They have the largest pool I have ever seen.  I highly recommend it!!!

We attended the Denver Temple!

We went to Colorado Springs and visited my brother Dave, and his family.  Chantelle is a great hostess!

Dave and Chan showed us around Colorado Springs.  We went to Manitou Springs where they have different artesian wells with different water wells containing different chemical compounds.  Let’s just say the water tastes awful, but it is fun to try.  Mike thought this was the best place.  He wants to go back!

We drove home via the southern route, US 160.  Mike starts talking about ‘somewhere in Colorado there is this motel that butts up to an outdoor movie theater and you can water movies from your room.  Well, not two minutes later, I find a sign telling us the motel is in just a few miles.  We had to stop for a photo shoot!
