 COLORADO’S WINE COUNTRY WITH A TWIST: JAZZY GIRLFRIENDS’ GETAWAY VIA AMTRAK Grand Junction, Colorado – Looking for a great weekend with the girls? Why drive to the same old spa weekend when you can take a getaway where getting there is half of the fun? Grab your girlfriends and make your getaway to Grand Junction via Amtrak for the Art & Jazz Festival (May 11-13, 2007) and a weekend full of music, wine, art and friends.The Jazzy Girlfriends' Getaway starts on Friday morning, May 11, when you board Amtrak at Denver’s Union Station for a leisurely and scenic ride through the Rockies. After disembarking later that afternoon, you and your friends will be whisked away to your lodgings on Grand Junction’s historic Main Street, where you can freshen up before attending an invitation-only meet-the-artists reception. During the weekend, Main Street will be closed to traffic for the festivities that will include live jazz, food vendors, gallery tours, wine tasting and more. If time permits, you and your gal pals can take an optional picnic lunch that includes a guided wine tasting or a side tour of Colorado National Monument. On Sunday, you’ll have time after breakfast for a stroll down Main Street before leaving for the train station and return to Denver by Amtrak.
