The big GJ!







We took a trip to Grand Junction last weekend and it was hot! Jim goes for work about once a month and every so often, Cooper and I join him. It's really great to get away and bond with the family. Einstein joined us this time too! We arrived around lunchtime and hit our favorite Mexican joint, LaBamba. They make yummy refried beans fresh everyday. We headed to Palisade for some wineries after lunch and then the farmers market on main street. Friday, Cooper and I visited the local toy store where there is a HUGE thomas the train play area. For those of you that know how much CJ loves thomas, well, let's just said he had a pretty good meltdown when we had to leave. We bought him a few new engines, Diesel, Daisy and Duncan. Friday afternoon, we met up with Jim and hit the wineries again. At Canyon Wind winery, Cooper was offered water from a wine glass by a worker. He likes to bite down on glasses, so you can only imagine what happened next. I was able to get all the broken glass out of his mouth and the bleeding stopped soon after....thanks, lady! Cooper was really good for most of the trip but did not like the crib (we forgot our pack n' play) so he ended up in bed with us for both nights. It was nice to snuggle but I'm glad he has his own bed to roll around in. Friday night we went to our fav Italian restaurant, they serve gluten free pasta! We had a bottle of wine and enjoyed the outdoor patio.
Great trip, thanks Jim!
