Colorado is a very favorite place for my husband and me. It has so much to offer! Recently, we went to Breckenridge with the kids and took a mini, kids-free weekend to Aspen.
I wanted to share a guide on all that Breck and Aspen have to offer!
Breckenridge- First off, if you are looking for a vacation that’s super laid back and zero shopping (except for some cute kids’ and hat stores) then you would love Breckenridge. There are really nice low key spas without all of the fanciness to it. I went to Blue Sage for a manicure and waxing and the Chopping Block for a blowout. Loved them both! We stayed in town which is great when you have kids because you never have to get in a car.
There are so many amazing parks for kids all over town and even some easy hikes. Our favorite place to hang out was in the middle of town. There is a playground with sand and behind it there’s a stream where kids walk across and are able to step on rocks. There are kids of all ages enjoying it! We pretty much spent our days going from park to park! The weather is so beautiful – especially coming from Miami – and we really took advantage of being outdoors. What’s great about Breckenridge is that you can also go to Dillon where there is a farmer’s market on Saturdays and such a beautiful park that overlooks the lake.
We ended up taking Jake to the Rodeo in Beaver Creek which we highly recommend. It was pretty small and not overwhelming at all! We ate the most delic fish tacos from a vendor from Mexico who now lives in Colorado.
Aspen is the best of both worlds! Great for hikes, there is a huge field in the middle of town for dogs and kids + amazing shopping. There is a great splash pad for kids in the middle of town. It’s very kid-friendly but not as rustic as Breckenridge. One of our favorite restaurants is White House Tavern- it’s a Hilstone. They have the most delicious salads and french fries! We also loved Ajax for a fun lunch. There is a bakery in the middle of town called Paradise Bakery – and ps they give the most delic samples. We stayed in town which was perfect because we didn’t have to use our car.
You can’t go wrong with either places in Colorado! It is such a nice place to visit especially with kids and has so much to offer. Looking forward to vacationing there next summer!
This is the park in the middle of Breckenridge! Such a good park for all ages- Jake enjoyed it as well.
This is in Breckenridge right in town by the stream! So perfect for kids to play.
Of Course everyone else was in jeans and a tee! HA!
This is from the Beaver Creek Rodeo. They were giving free horseback riding to kids.
This was taken from our car ride trip from Breckenridge to Aspen- the most beautiful scenery.
This is from the Farmer’s Market in Dillon. There were vendors from all over Colorado!
This was taken in Apsen- how gorgeous are these flowers. They are perfectly placed everywhere!
