Over Labor Day weekend Andrew and I decided to getaway and enjoy some other amazing places not too far from where we live. We decided the night before to drive up on Sunday morning, spend the day and night in Vail and then go to Glenwood Springs on Monday. They were both so pretty during the fall. The leaves were starting to change colors, everything was still so green, and it was the perfect fall temperature. This mini getaway was just what we needed after spending our week days apart from each other.
In Vail we walked around the town and did some shopping, dinner, hot tubbed, and cozied up next to the fire and watched a movie that night.
We had been wanting to go to the amusement park in Glendwood Springs for a little while. It is on the top of the mountain so you have to take a gondola to get there. It was kinda pricy but the views and rides were worth every penny. The pictures don't even do the views justice.
On the gondola
This was such a fun/scary ride!! Everytime you went back and forth you were waaaay over the side of the cliff. That view though....Colorado is incredible!
Our favorite was probably the Alpine Coaster. The first time we did it separately, but since Andrew is an entire head taller than me we were able to ride it together the next which was way more fun!

We rode this swings ride twice in a row to take a video the second time after seeing how pretty the view was the first time, which then ended up making us both feel a little nauseous after basically going around and around in circles. Atleast we got a good video out of it :)
It was such a fun and perfect day together! I'm glad we finally made it to Glenwood to do this. I'm even more glad that I fell in love with my best friend. He makes me the happiest girl. We also wanted to do the Hanging Lake hike in Glenwood but didn't get there in time to do both so we'll eventually have to go back!
