How would you like an Epic Summer vacation?

Have you been able to get away this summer for a family vacation? Unfortunately we didn’t really get to go on the family vacation that we wanted to this year due to various circumstances that have happened this year. Lord knows we really need an actual vacation rather than just a trip up to Canada to my parents house, but alas another summer goes by and we’ll have to wait till next year.

One of the many great places for a family vacation that I’ve heard about is a trip to Colorado. I’ve personally never been but the pictures I’ve seen and the things I’ve heard, it makes my brain work a bit harder thinking maybe we’ll be there next summer.

Why not have a family vacation and make it an epic summer. From gondola rides at Keystone and Vail to whitewater rafting in the Rockies, Going to Beaver Creek and horseback riding or panning for gold in Breckenridge, a vacation in Colorado seems to have everything we’d never do at home, and that’s what makes a vacation great to me. Why travel to places where you can do the same old thing, make it an epic summer and have an exciting adventure.
