Stu and Abby on the trail behind our hotel that lead to Vail Village.

Our little family spent the last week in Vail, Colorado. It was a nice relaxing week. We really didn't do much at all, but it was so nice to get away. Our first day we met some nice people at a welcome BBQ at our hotel that told us to go on a Gondola ride on Thursdays because it is free. That was a lot of fun! It was absolutely gorgeous. We always go on vacation to the beach, so it was a fun change to go to the mountains. Our hotel was walking distance from Vail Village, so we would walk there and go to dinner and the shops and every night we had to go to the Marble Slab and share the Cookie Dough Drizzle Creation. Yummy! We are addicted to the TV show Heroes so we bought season 2 before we left and watched that and Stu was a sweet heart and let me pick out a movie every night. I got all the movies in that I wanted to see like... Bride Wars, 17 Again, and He is Just Not That into You. All of which were good movies and Stu didn't mind them, well Bride Wars was not his favorite. It was a great little get away for us!
