Our 20 hour vacation

We went on a 20 hour vacation to Glenwood Springs in June.  It was quite a marathon. I thought Cesar was a little crazy to plan it right before we move too, but I'm glad we went and that it was a success.
We left at 3:45 in the morning, and the drive there was scary!  We encountered rain, hail, and snow all in the dark!  There was a car in front of us on the highway that slipped on the snow and was totally turned around.  We were headed straight for their headlights and we were slipping too!  Cesar managed to not hit them and stay on the road.  It was really scary though.  We made it to the hike for our departure time.  We hiked Hanging Lake.  It's a pretty tough uphill hike, but we all made it.  It was so beautiful at the top! 

After the hike we stopped at a restaurant to eat and then went to an amusement park on the mountain.  It was really fun and so pretty.  There was a storm that rolled in with major lightening, but it didn't last too long.  It wasn't the best weather most of the day, but we made due. 

The amusement park had a cave, so we took a cave tour.  The tour guide was super funny and a great guide.  

The Alpine coaster was one of our favorite rides.  Ruby and Diego had to ride with Cesar and I and Eli was on his own car.  We went on it a few times.

Here is Diego riding the gondola up to the park.  

After the park we got Wendy's and ate it in the car and headed toward Denver.  We got back home around midnight.
