Fun Friday

It all started with a lovely bowl of Irish oatmeal. We had packed up a bag of goodies to take to the pool and stopped by the grill to have our morning meal on the way to our morning soak. First though we had a big decision. Do we get 4 turns down the water slide, 8 turns, or go all out and get the all day pass. Believe it or not this was the biggest decision of the day. We went with eight. Spending time in the pools goes something like this. You get in the huge pool first and walk up and down. Or if you are with a family you play catch. Then, when you get cold you go to the warm pool. We spent hours doing this until the water slide opened. Okay. We used to love the water slides at Cal Expo. So, it was with some excitement and a lot of trepidation that we started up the stairs. All 99 of them. We finally reached the top and decided to go down the Blue Comet first. You got down the Comet with your body. And so at 50 miles per hour you whip down the tunnel in cold water hitting your head and body every turn. I could not stand up when I finally got to the bottom. The other slide,the Green Whatever,was much kinder. You rode on a large tube, the water was warm, and the ride was fun. However, after three times, with a long break in between, we gave our ticket to a family with kids. We are old.
This really is a great place. We met some women who had taken Amtrak from Reno to Glenwood Springs. That would be a blast. There are vapor caves, biking, hiking, and great restaurants. And you get to spend hours in a mineral pool revitalizing your body. Finally, a vacation!!! It is lovely to see George so relaxed. He pulls me around the pool or I pull him and we laugh at little things. It is really quite corny and so great.
Well, tomorrow we are going to start with another breakfast and swim and then off to many fine vistas.
Good night...Jenson
