Tis the season to be Jolly,
I wish I had the proper words to describe the pristine beauty sitting atop the Colorado rockies. The mountains were exploding with pops of vibrant green through the pillow of white cloudy puffy snow! Sprinkles of sunshine danced off of the leaves and snowflakes creating an absolute marvel of a sight and experience!
We recently had the pleasure of celebrating Colin’s birthday at the Grand Lodge at peak 7 in Breckenridge and it was a ski lover’s dream! Or better yet a winter vacation lovers dream as I did not ski. But there was so much more than shredding to do in order to fall in love with this magical setting. Strolling down main street while stopping in and out of the many boutique shops and restaurants was like being transported straight into a Hallmark movie in Evergreen!
Back atop the mountain the luxurious and magnificently large resort had enough to keep you busy for weeks! From the moment we checked in, I knew it was going to be a transformative trip.
Most often, my thoughts of paradise take me to the water during summertime or tropical locations like home in Hawai’i. However, I must say after my recent ski trip, I can strongly see the lure of the mountains, hot chocolate, and snow. While I tried to snowboard and participate with Colin, Ace and Kinngston, I often found myself on my backside, appreciating the glorious views and wonder from my backside. This however, did not deter my fun for the day, as I have discovered a new way to get down the mountain… It’s called a sled.
The boys however, had an absolute ball and as they ascended up the mountain lift after lift to do more challenging runs, I headed back to the inviting hotel lobby to watch college football, meet new friends and appreciate the lodge’s rustic yet modern charm. Here, I was fortunate enough to meet Valdene, from Jamaica, who solidified the entire experience of the Grand Lodge at Peak 7 by offering warm yet amazingly efficient service! I can see why her spot was so popular. Service like this is why vacationers come back to the same resort year after year! I may be hooked!
Happy Holidays!
