We stayed in Breckinridge and had friends who were vacationing in Vail and then Bachelor Gulch. We got a hotel room where they were staying the first few nights and their teenage girls watched our kiddos so we could have dinner together. So peaceful (minus the cold rain haha). I felt a little like an adult again!! But, the hotel room quickly brought me back to parenting younger kids as it had a spiral staircase leading to the master bed area. That is a fun place for a 3 year old to keep sliding down.

Country Boy Mine – funny and informative!

We took a tour of an old mine that allowed us to walk through 1,000 feet of mine. It was 42 degrees and we were the first tour of the day. They had to pump oxygen into it, always makes you feel good. Luckily, they have lights in it and wood between the rails on the ground so you don’t have to walk through water. When you finish, you get to pan for gold in the stream. We found gold flakes and some fools gold. It was very rainy all night and morning leading up to this so pretty cold. They had a treasure hunt but, sadly it was full. Was kind of outdoor escape room meets treasure hunt with metal detectors.

Misc – An onion playground, Rainbow park, and random photos. Side note – Rainbow Park was such a cool area. Big kids play ground, small kids playground, open fields, tennis courts, sand volleyball, basketball and a huge Rec center that locals said included an indoor pool.
