7 August 2013, Glenwood Canyon, Colorado

OToday Alex is 10. Tomorrow he's 11! Paul and I tried to catch the sunrise at Bryce Canyon at 6:30 but it was too cloudy. It was nice to see the amphitheater again. We were the only ones at Inspiration Point - perfect silence.

Today we drive to Glenwood Springs, Colorado. Rand McNally voted it as "Most Fun Town". I hope to visit the nation's oldest hot springs resort. 

On the way, we had an amazing breakfast in Marysvale, Utah at the Prospector Cafe.

It was crazy because everyone in town drives an ATV. Apparently this is the epicenter for a 900-mile Paiute ATV trail system, the largest in the nation. So, travel tip, if you want to spend a few days ATVing....

Once in Glenwood Springs, we check into our spot and walk down to the "No Name Bar" for a cocktail. We decide to do something completely normal - go to a movie. Playing in the solo theatre in downtown was "Wolverine."  Not my first choice, but something we all could see.

After an Asian dinner at May Palace, I swear the fastest restaurant I've ever been to, we turn in because Alex has a big day tomorrow!!
