Vail Vacation Day 1: Our Arrival

We had a fabulous trip in Vail and I have decided to do a blogpost on each day we were there. Our first day was mainly travel. We arrived in Denver in the afternoon and then had a three hour car drive to Vail. It was a beautiful drive filled with mountains and rivers. I just could not get enough of the view.

A view from the top of Vail. In the distance is Holy Cross Mountain.

On our first night, there was a jazz festival happening in the village. Emma loved watching the military jazz group.



We ate at a local institution called, Blue Moose Pizza. Emma wanted to pet the moose.

After dinner we walked around to check out the village.


Right outside our condo was the Gondola. Emma was in love it. She enjoyed watching the "boxes" go up and down the mountain.

More posts to come on our lovely vacation. I am sure I will mention it a million times but I absolutely love Vail! I truly hope we have more Vail vacations in our future.
