Challenge Aspen Day 1

So....

after a very long day of flying, I finally made it to Aspen Colorado.

The drive from Utah to Colorado isn't too long, but NO, I had to take the LONG way to get there. 

(by way of Georgia)

So the kids and I woke up at the crack of dawn and flew to Denver,

from Denver we flew to Atlanta where I dropped off the cuties with their Father.

After some long lines, and a very invasive pat-down in Atlanta, I waited to catch another flight to Denver,

And then from Denver to Aspen.

It was a late night, and I was exhausted.

Day 1 consisted of a morning at 

Glenwood Hot Springs

The water was warm, I swam a few laps, went down the water slide, but my goal for the day was

a back flip. 

Now I have been terrified of the back flip for most of my life,

My dad got me to try it about fifteen years ago and I over rotated and landed on my back.

(not fun)

So my goal for the day was to have a successful back flip.

.....and I did.

Marvelous! I have checked something else off of my list.

Afterwards, my roomie and I decided to treat ourselves to a massage at the 

Spa of the Rockies.

It was beautiful and serene.

I enjoyed a cup of jasmine tea while relaxing in a comfy chaise lounge while I waited for my massage.  

The room was beautiful and the massage was quite relaxing.

I came back to the hotel and napped until dinner.

Oh what fun to have a much needed vacation.
