Winter Fun in Vail, Colorado

Brad and I headed for the Rocky Mountains with Lauren and Adam (Brad's sister and her husband) for five days.  We flew into Denver Airport and rented a car that we drove to the fabulous ski town of Vail.  We had picture perfect weather our entire stay.  It was chilly, but the blue skies and sunshine helped ease the cold.  We stayed at a wonderful boutique hotel called Vail Mountain Lodge and Spa right in Vail Village.  The hotel had great customer service and we even had a personal driver that would bring us anywhere we wanted in the Infiniti QX 56!! :)  Just an added bonus for us!  Vail has amazing restaurants and we ate like kings and queens for the duration of our stay.
Our hotel was also home to a spa and athletic club, which we took advantage of each day.  After skiing each night we would head down to the outdoor hot tub and ease our sore leg muscles.  :) Very relaxing!

Before my full-day of ski lessons.  I definitely learned a lot and never fell once the whole weekend...unless you count when Brad pushed me off the chairlift!!
