Luminous Lagoon

The Jewel Dunns River has a great selection of off property excursions. We decided to check out the options one morning at their help desk. We looked over the various excursions and picked the Luminous Lagoon. This excursion takes place at the Glistening Waters Marina, which is about 45 minutes from the resort. 
Once at Glistening Waters you are welcomed with a rum punch and you sit and wait for it to get dark. Then boats come up to the dock and you load up to take a 35 minute tour of the marina. Once you get so far out you can start to see the water turn a different color. There are microorganisms that live in the water where the salt and fresh water mix. Once disturbed the glow a bright blue. This was such an amazing experience. We rode around with Jerry, who was the original tour guide since this started, and he told us the history of this marina. 
 Once you are so far out they let you jump off the side of the boat and swim. It was absolutely amazing being in the water. The organisms stick to your skin and clothes so when you lift anything out of the water it looks like your skin is glowing/sparkling. It is hard to describe, but the feeling while you are there is magical.
I would highly recommend this excursion to anyone.

Gateway to the West: St. Louis

St. Louis is a beautiful place to visit in the fall. There are so many fun historical things to do in and around the city. My favorite place to visit is St. Charles, which is about 35 minutes Northwest of St. Louis. This is like a picture perfect fall town out of a movie. The cobblestone streets lined with cute local businesses and trees changing with the season are just charming. We walked along the street checking out the local shops and tried some of their local wine. I absolutely loved the warm pumpkin wine with whipped cream at Bella Vino. This was just a quintessential fall town and I absolutely fell in love with it! And of course no trip to St. Louis is complete with out a trip to the Gateway Arch!

Rocky Mountain High

Rocky Mountain National Park is beautiful! We drove through Boulder up to Estes Park to enter the park. I loved watching the scenery change from rolling hills to rocky mountain peaks. I truly enjoyed the scenic drive as we climbed in elevation up to around 12,000 feet on Trail Ridge Road. We drove for about an hour or so to Medicine Bow Curve. From there you could see snow still on the mountain peaks in the distance and the temperature dropped from 80 degrees in Boulder to about 39 degrees at our turnaround point. The mountain range was quite a sight and went as far as the eye could see. This was such a great drive, but I wish we had more time to get out and hike. I would have loved to hit the trails and see what we could accomplish on foot. Maybe next time, but until then I will be dreaming of these Rocky Mountains. So excited we made it to RMNP!
