Day 6: Vail

Vail is amazing. The only regret I have with coming here, is that we did not plan on staying here longer. Two and a half days is not long enough for all that Vail has to offer! I had only been here once before, about 15 years ago with my Dad and my sister, and that was also during the summer... and also for too short of a visit. We definitely want to come back (when the kids are a bit older) and we can hike and bike around.

Everywhere you go in Vail there are flowers, gardens and flowing river. It is simply beautiful...



There are so many wonderful parks in Vail. Of course, they all come with a "mountain view." Here is Ariana at the Ford park doing"see-saw" - her favorite park activity!




Alex and Grace navigating our way on a map...





A stroll through beautiful Ford gardens...












Alex banging on something that makes music noise...



We came a cross a really neat wooden pirate ship play structure that the kids just loved. They played for a good hour chasing each other around and playing pirate...



Ahoy, Matey....



Soon enough, it was time for popcorn and a movie to end our day....



Our trip is almost over, folks... one more day to go!

I haven't been to Vail since '95 when I lived in Littleton. The worst patient case I treated at Denver General while I was out there, though, was from Vail!

It IS beautiful there, and since I don't ski I prefer it in the summer too!

Have more fun and a safe and smooth trip back home.
