This was our first real family vacation away from our Iowa routines in a long time, and our first time in Colorado. Just the four of us, two parents with their two teenagers. This was a bit of a bet for us, not really knowing the area and what to do around there, but it seemed to match what we were looking for, some peaceful and beautiful place. And this is what we found.
The views from the balcony, we couldn't get enough of it, with the playful hummingbirds buzzing around our heads. If you manage to stay up late enough, the night sky is also quite a sight. I wish I had woke up during the night more often, to go outside watch the stars.
The house was very clean and very well furnished, there was a really nice welcome basket, we cooked family dinners, the kids loved the pool table and the board games, we tried out the hot tub, and walked down to the Sacramento river trail to enjoy nature and wildlife.
We were able to go do some horse-riding on the other side of Fairplay, go visit Breckenridge in the north, go experience our first rafting around Buena Vista in the south, and walk some easy mountain trails around Fairplay.
Not sure if we'll have the opportunity to come back to Colorado one day, but, if we do, we'll be sure to check if Aimme&Chris's house is available, because all of us loved the place very much.
