Breckenridge/Vail 2026–Day 4!

Okay, peeps.

Our final day in Breckenridge was pretty classic. :)

We woke early, went down to Main Street for coffee, then back up the mountain to be on site right at opening to tackle the alpine coasters we didn’t manage due to rain delays two days ago!

Then it was shopping, eating, and Escape Room-ing (we always do one in Breckenridge, ha), a mad-dash run to the gondola before it closed (yes, I actually ran alongside the girlies to make it before close; something I avoid unless it’s a Zombie Apocalypse), then a dinner in and cookie sandwiches out.

All.

The good.

Things.

Breckenridge is always a good ideas. Our favorite vacay-away place to shop, a zone where the hubby can get all the GF/DF goodies, yummy coffee and happy hearts. 

So grateful for this latest annual trek.

More catch-up posts as I’m able, peeps! Ready to love on my Coda girl and get some solid sleep before a new week!

Over and out.

Breckenridge/Vail 2026–Day 3! (Part 2)

Okay, peeps.

Picking up where I left off with the second half of our day in Vail. :)

We drove, we hiked, we paused for some lunch at our favorite little sandwich haunt, and then…we rented e-bikes and went for a nine-mile ride!

It started all sunny and gorgeous and blue-skied, and then, just as we’d made it to the halfway point and started the journey back, the skies opened up and it started pouring and hailing.

The wind was whipping so furiously and the tiny bits of ice were attacking our faces so fiercely we had to seek shelter with some other riders under a pine tree to wait it out! Then, like 15 minutes later, it was all clear again! At least we kept with our yo-yo weather theme of the trip. ;)

Okay…photo dump incoming!

Then, to cap things often the hiking, biking, eating and shopping…we went for some dinner and bowling. :) Followed by caramel apples and coffee. ;)

Needless to say, it was an Advil kind of night, ha. But a full and happy Vail day.

More soon, peeps!

Over and out. 

Breckenridge/Vail 2026–Day 3! (Part 1)

Day three of our Colorado adventures brought us over to…Vail!

If we’re in Breckenridge, we always pop over to Vail for a day and the same, vice versa. It’s just a quick 45-minute trek, and beautiful to drive through picturesque Frisco, to boot. Like getting two for the price of one. ;)

We had some loose food plans to help anchor our day, but no major excursions on the books, which can be a good or very, very bad thing for our crew.

In this case, I’ll just say that it was a bit of a touch-and-go start until we sorted our plans, caught a necessary shuttle to a hiking trail we enjoyed last year, and got our collective act together.

But, boy, did we!

A hustled two-mile, 45-minute hike along a fantastic little trail did a lot to set our moods back on track. Nothing like Mother Nature to give a swift mood redirect. 

Please note all of our peace sign poses in honor of little niece June, tehe. It’s her signature pose and she’s been on our minds a ton, lately, after a wild medical battle (but she’s all good!).

We enjoyed such a happy trek and kept pushing for just a few minutes longer, stopping for happy wildflower, blue skies and family pics—until we realized we needed to head back down, stat, to make it back for our return shuttle.

Needless to say, we made it back down in a faction of the time, and please enjoy the hubby’s hysterical and impressive multi-tasking, as he took multiple (multiple) work calls both up and down the trail, ha. You can zoom in and see his phone and AirPods, tehe.

I’m grateful for the exercise to really get our day off to an official start. And we just kept on going!

More in the next post!

Over and out.
