Glenwood Springs: Day 2

Day 2 of our Glenwood Springs trip hit us all like a ton of bricks.
We spent the majority of our time at the pool. And that meant sunblock, crowds, frequent potty breaks and watery-ears from about 9 am till 2 pm.





Amy did all right with the heat, the sun and the crowds. Sadly, the one thing she liked the least was the water!

I think all that water really scared her. She clung to Mommy pretty tight.




Even the nifty belly-boat we got her didn't assuage her fears. In fact, this took her away from Mommy, which made things worse!







When we finally left our morning pool session, the family and I motored out to Chili's for some grub...(They had a grilled cheese for Squirt.)

Take a look at the scenery!




And this one, directly behind the restaurant.








What can we say about Chili's? We came. We ate. We left.
And after we got back, Vince was riled up for another session of crowds, sun, and mineral water.









When dinner finally came around, Anne (Lisa's aunt) suggested a great Mexican place called "Dos Hombres."
They had some pretty solid Mexican food. Not as good as Alberto's in SLC, but close.





The real highlight for the evening was Amy's incredible affinity for horchata. Man, she couldn't get enough of it! As soon as we gave her a swallow, she'd hoot for more. She also enjoyed rice, teeny-tiny bits of carne asada and guacamole. As for beans...well...let's just say that's still a work in progress.




Once we got home, it was crashtime. Vince had spent so much time in the sun that he was cranky, whiny and we think a little sick. Gladly, I had kept him hydrated for the majority of the day. That meant that his "illness" was limited to just feeling yucky. (Yep, we dodged a bullet.)




Amy barely tossed and turned at all. She hit the sack like she'd worked the graveyard shift and didn't move until o'dark thirty, when she was hungry.











Yeah, Day 2 was a lot of fun. But I think we'll take it easy tomorrow and not stay in the sun as long as we did today. It'll be a lot easier on Lis, Kevin, the kids and my bright-red back...(ouchie).
