2 reasons why i need to move to vail

so there are two reasons i probably

will need to move to vail, colorado

 ASAP.............................................

1. it is the cutest town on earth

{feels like europe.}

2. you can get homemade ice cream

DELIVERED to you there. whaaat?

first let's talk about the town, then the ice

cream. tell me if you aren't won over after this.

^^ am i in europe, or colorado?

^^ running through the pretty ski resort!

^^ i will stop the pictures here 

to be nice since i know you want

to move here just as bad now :)

just wait until you hear about this ice

cream company and you'll really be sold.

^^ i heard about scoop vail and knew we 

HAD to try it. tim is my same age and

lives in vail valley... he was working as a

ski instructor and one night had the thought

that vail needed a good ice cream place. not

only that, but he thought it needed to be delivered

to people. he is one smart guy! i'm shocked i've

never heard of an ice cream delivery service in SF

or NYC or a big city! love that it's right in vail.

he has the best flavors that taste so homemade

{because they are...} and he takes them around

when you order them. they are also in select

stores in the area! we had so much fun meeting tim

elwhen he delivered his famous ice cream to our hotel.

 ^^ the best part of his deliveries...

mini bags of sprinkles! i about died.

 ^^ heaven in a picture!

^^ happy campers with our delivered ice cream.

we were all trading and sharing because each 

flavor is so divine! mud season was amazing,

and the vail-nilla had the yummiest vanilla bean

texture + cutest name. the green mint chip was

so unique because it actually had the mint taste

instead of the fake tasting one. i don't know

how to describe it but it was so fresh + tasty!

^^ my brother might have been the

biggest ice cream fan of us all.

^^ his business card says "chief enjoyment officer"

haha! that explains tim right there. what a guy and

what a company! i hope this ice cream expands so 

i can get it in california eventually! you HAVE to

check it out when in vail. it's the best!

a place you have to stay

last week in colorado we discovered a place

you have to stay. listen to this... imagine a

big amazing ski lodge with condos inside

that are owned by families. they come and

stay whenever they want, and the rest of the

year their condos are rented out to visitors.

brilliant! so, in one hotel you get the incredible

resort / lodge amenities, yet with the most

comfortable rooms that make it feel like you

are staying in a family cabin. it is so unique 
and the best combination! because of this, 
the charter at beaver creek was one of my 
favorite places i have stayed. it was also such 
a fun memory to relax up here in this mountain 
lodge with my parents the week before they
move abroad. the room, the spa, the pool,
 the fireplace, the mountains, it was heavenly! 
definitely adding it to the list of favorites.



^^ the mountainside view from our room..
first things first, i couldn't 
WAIT to get to that pool!

^^ much needed mom time 

^^ the pool is the nicest part! when else

do you swim in a pool right by a mountain

up in the hills? there are 3 hot tubs, the nicest

pool, and a huge fire pit {my favorite part}

^^ hi, dad in the back :)

^^ those mountain pine trees always

steal my heart and feel like home

so much space, unlike other hotels. 

everything is so nice, but also has a 

personal touch and feel like a cabin.

we definitely took advantage of 

the incredible spa. (that steam room!!)

^^ and you have to love a place that 

has a good breakfast. can you imagine

this in the winter before skiing all day?

^^ very true! beaver creek is a dream.

{it reminded me a lot of deer valley!}

^^ lastly, the location is so fun 

since you can walk right into the

beaver creek village which is darling.

there are lots of great restaurants and

shops and i love the ski town feel!

^^ love this dad of mine

^^ cute mama

^^ aunt + mom + me. we have the best times together!

i'm so lucky to have my aunt laurie as a second mom.

we got teary a few times about my mom leaving us!

and, so much fun with my brother & parents.

we missed everyone else but

this week was so sweet together!

we loved this stay and i will remember

it forever! who knows, maybe we'll

come back here in 3 years for our reunion

when my parents return :) for now, 

thanks for the amazing stay!

see some summer deals you can

get for your stay at the charter here!
