Perfect Getaway


This past weekend Sheralee and I escaped to Glen-Isle Resort in Bailey, CO. I can not tell you how wonderful this weekend was. We were in the mountains, so it really felt like we were getting away. Plus, something about drinking coffee and wine all day long, eating smores for breakfast and having absolutely no agenda was refreshing and relaxing. Here's a picture of the living room of the cabin we stayed in:



This place was so perfect. We learned all about it from a woman who works there. Apparently it was built in 1900 as a venture by rich Denver businessmen who wanted a place to come and hunt. It ran that way for 20-some years until the Tripp family bought it in the 20s and the daughter of those owners still runs it today. She and her husband ran it beginning in the 50s and together they built 19 additional cabins, one of which we stayed in. The grounds were full of old cars and all sorts of fun stuff, I can't wait to go back!


Sheralee took all three of these pictures. If you want to see more pictures, email me and I'll send you the link.
