So we started in Denver and took a quick trip to the Red Rocks and saw the Ampitheather, which was really cool! We walked up and down the stairs, and let me tell you I was really out of breath!
Then we headed west on I-70 towards the Rockies! I honestly hate car rides, but this one flew by. You can't even blink otherwise you would miss some beautiful piece of scenery. The whole trip took less than 2 hours and we made it to beautiful Vail!
We checked into the resort and first thing was first, got our ski rentals! We sent our helmets and ski clothes ahead so that we wouldn't have to pack them, which was convenient. Then we walked around the resort then made our way to Vail Village. To get a good perspective on how big the mountain is, it is 1.5 miles from our resort to the main gondola. BUT there is a chair lift from our resort which you can take to make your way over to central Vail. So the whole mountain spans over 2 miles across and has like almost 100 chair lifts. Good thing that I have a CO native coming skiing with me to help me around the trails.
After being completely amazed by the enormous size of the mountain, and walking around Vail Village (while getting a very touristy Vail sweatshirt) we headed back to the resort and got ready for dinner, which was a really nice Italian dinner in Vail. We came back to the resort, put our batting suits on, grabbed a bottle of wine and ran to the hot tub/pool with our oversized bath robes on!! It was hysterical and amazing. The hot tub had a fire pit right next to it, so we sipped wine and watched the stars from the hot tub! It was a memory I'll never forget :)
Now I'm ready for a day of skiing tomorrow! Off to bed early. Good night all!
