<br>
What I most enjoyed was the beautiful scenery. Vail offered some of the most beautiful mountains I've ever seen. There are breathtaking views of majestic trees, made even more magnificent by the beautiful snow lightly falling. It truly is a sparkling winter wonderland.<br>
<br>
As mentioned, I was new to ski culture at the time, and found it interesting that several restaurants didn't even open until after morning ski hours, or après ski. It was as though Vail has been transplanted from some faraway, quaint European town, which lends to its undeniable charm. They really do take their après ski serious! There is so much to do. Along with the several restaurants, there are upscale boutiques, chic art galleries, theaters, and bars upon bars of every type! Some of the brunches we enjoyed featured wonderful French or Scandinavian fare. <br>
<br>
The ranges are vast! There are ski runs of every type, from bunny to expert; there are even ski runs for children (maybe I would have fared better there, winks). On our last day there, we were surprised to find another level at the resort we were at. It featured a mountaintop iceskating rink! It was so much fun, and the husband and I made a mental note that next time the kiddos needed to be along for the ride.<br>
<br>
It goes without saying that Vail is a beautiful place, a wonderful winter wonderland, and if you've never gone, book a trip immediately! We were fortunate enough to receive the trip as an incentive when we purchased our first new Volvo, so it was an unexpected excursion well worth it. <br>

A native Californian myself, it seemed like such a departure from where I was; so foreign. When I was young, I always imagined living in the city. Ah, the naïveté of youth! I now know how incredibly expensive it would be to live there in the smallest of apartments.<br>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
On my first trip to New York, I was a young, doe-eyed nineteen year-old; and just taking it all in. I remember the bike messengers nearly clipping me as my husband and I walked from place to place, our little one in tow. The cab drivers, who do not stop on red (didn't we learn that in preschool?) aggressively shuttled from one place to another. Street merchants, peddling their wares, went about their day nonchalantly; they were all so used to this. Our trip was in the dead of summer during July, and it was so humid I remember wanting to shower every five minutes. Even my sundress, which was very lightweight, clung to me because of the moisture in the air. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Fast forward eighteen years. Our return to the city. The experience was quite different. The food. The shopping. The shows!! The art. Again, I wistfully ached to live there.</div>

I shop online often via Neiman Marcus and its affiliates, Horchow and Bergdorf Goodman; so I was quite excited to visit Bergdorf's for the first time in person. I won't go into too much detail, but I will say that I much better enjoyed my trip to the Bloomingdales. What I found incredible about this store is that it had six, (count them, six!) floors! It certainly put the Bloomie's here in California to shame (sorry😊). I picked up some really adorable items for my kiddos there. </div>

On the subject of shopping, those of you who live in New York are so fortunate. I happened to stumble upon a great store, Century 21. I loved this store! This store is practically brimming with fashionable finds, including designer. We need one here. If you build it, they will come. ;)</div>
