Carpe Diem in Glenwood Springs

Seize the day was the name of the game when we visited Bri's cousin Tyler in Glenwood Springs, Colorado.  By mid-afternoon the three of us couldn't believe how much we had accomplished with more planned activities to follow.  I was able to get a couple hours of coffee and solitude while the other slept in at a local cafe, but then we were off.  By 4pm we had visited two farmers markets, picked a cherry tree behind Tyler's apartment and rafted a few hours on the Colorado River.  We followed all of that with dinner at a great new local restaurant with one of Tyler's local friends.  Bri and I had to share a second plate of the outstanding pierogies.  Next we walked to the theater to see the Glenwood Vaudeville Review which was an entertaining blend of comedy and music that made us feel like we were at a theater in the West 130 years ago.  Then of course (the foodies that we are) it was back to the restaurant for dessert before heading home.  A complete day.

The cherries were unbelievably ripe.
