Summer Heat, Summer Fun Vail, Colorado

Hi, It’s Rosie. How are those Vail, Colorado vacation plans coming along? Getting excited yet?

Welcome to the fourth edition of my Vail Travel Tips. It’s interactive, so you can plan your Vail vacation with me and WhatToDo.info As I’ve told you before, I have the travel bug, and I love the Colorado high country, especially in summer. I’ve lived in Vail since the early ’70s and have visited many countries and lived around the world, but I always come home. There are so many activities up here for all ages of “kids” that checking out the website is the best way to pick and choose.

Go to vail.whattodo.info and look at the possibilities under “Family Fun.” Normally, activities are varied enough that there’s plenty for everyone to do. For scheduled events, look at the our Home Page and click on “Calendar” or click on it here and go directly to the calendar. There are weekly rodeos, library story hours, kids’ camps and children’s theatre. There’s a free concert at the Ford Amphitheater every Tuesday evening, a wonderful spot for a picnic. Classical music comes for the month of July – check the calendar for Bravo! Vail Music Festival. The Vail International Dance Festival showcases ballet dancers from around the world in early August. Not to miss. You can pedal a paddle boat on Avon Lake just about any time.

Wear those kids out, but you may wear yourself out, too. The list goes on: Adventure Ridge in Vail, arcades and games, water parks, ice cream shops, a climbing wall, gymnastics. You get the drift. This is a wonderful place for children to grow up, and children who come here for a visit will want to linger. It just might be time to find a grassy knoll, a coffee shop, a park bench or have a nap in your hotel.

Happy travels and Welcome, Rosie
