The Steamboat Grand in Steamboat Springs, Colorado is the ideal family getaway any time of year, but most especially in winter when you can’t beat the location.
Steamboat Springs, Colorado is where cowboy life meets shredder life. Ranching, rodeo and skiing have been the cowboy way there for as long as ranching has existed in Yampa Valley. It’s intertwined into the narrative of the town, where young cowboys learn to ride horseback as early as they learn to ski.
Space is the key to a successful week of college tours. My teen son, his godmother, his buddy, and I had all the space we needed while staying at Residence Inns during our college tour of Southern California and all of the trunk room we needed thanks to the Dodge Journey.
My first visit to Ski Granby Ranch, a family-friendly and affordable Colorado ski resort, won’t be my last! The 2012-2013 Colorado Ski season may be over but the positive experience lingers on. Budget friendly lift tickets. No long lines. Easily navigated ski terrain. And just plain fun! Did I mention that this Traveling Grandmom finally “got” skiing, thanks to my private ski lesson with “Meatball?” Yes, you read that right – Meatball, but I digress.
Play ball...it's opening day around Chicago! If only there weren't still snow on the ground. Spring arrives perenially late in these parts, but thankfully, I still have sunny memories of our spring break in the desert. Plenty of sun, a desert in bloom, plus it's home to the MLB's Cactus League— Arizona's a home run for the whole family.
Let's Go Cubbies!
You missed it! It ran in mid-March. But there are lots of reasons why you need to put a pin in your calendar for next year’s Sun Valley Film Festival and make sure you get your butt there this time next year.
