Vail, Colorado - Vacation Post Part Three!

Our second to last day in Colorado we spent the day in Vail. I loved Vail....it is so pretty. Vail is about a twenty minute drive from where we were staying in Copper Mountain. Do y'all remember Trista and Ryan from The Bachelorette? They were the first couple to get married on national TV. Well...Ryan works as a firefighter in Vail and they live around there with their two kids. I made my dad drive by the Vail Fire Department to see if we could spot Ryan. I know, I know your thinking....these stupid people travel all the way to Colorado to spy on Trista and Ryan Sutter, ha!

We didn't end up seeing Ryan. My mom was wanting me to act like I was having chest pains so we could go into the fire station to have them check me out, ha! She is about just as bad as me!


But as we were walking through the little village in Vail we did spot a firetruck! It wasn't Ryan's but I still took a picture by it. I wasn't going to but another lady did so I thought what the heck! I wonder if these firemen know why all these women are taking pictures by their firetruck?!?! I'm sure they give Ryan hell!


***************************************************************************

Vail is a lot like Copper Mountain...except a little more crowded during the summer. It is a little village with shops and restaurants. That day we ended up eating at this little restaurant by the river.

This is not the restaurant we ate at but I had to take a picture....I thought it was so cute! It is a little German place...I love the patio!


Here are some more pictures of us posing for the camera!

Over looking Vail



Vail had a lot of beautiful flowers that I had to get some pictures of too!



Have y'all ever been to Vail? Are you sick of my vacation posts yet?! I promise....I'm almost done!

When I saw the post title I immediately thought, I wonder if she saw Trista and Ryan. Too funny. Well, at least you tried.

Such beautiful pictures.

You would've had more luck spotting them if you went to the grocery store. ;)

That is cool. I think that is the only Bachelorette that I have watched. I know I am sad but we dont have cable/satellite anymore so I am way behind times :(
Your pictures are great and keep em' coming. :-)
