Craig, Julia and I flew to Denver, Colorado and then drove 2 hours to Avon (near Beaver Creek) and met his parents. They drove in from Vegas to spend a long weekend with us. The first night we went to dinner at Ticino, an Italian restaurant right by our hotel, Sheraton Mountain View Suites, and then watched a movie at home. Saturday we went on a bike tour with Charter Tours and rode down the mountain in Vail Pass. They drive you to the top of the mountain, which is about 10,600 feet and then you ride down the mountain at your own pace. It took us about 2 hours to get down and most of it was downhill, but there were some parts where you had to bike uphill which was hard with the altitude. The ride down was beautiful and we stopped several times to take in the scenery and of course take some pictures. This was the first time for all three of us so it was a really fun experience and we hope to do it again soon. Afterwards we had lunch at a cute Italian bistro called La Bottega in Vail. Luckily, they drive you back from Vail to Avon, although they give you the option to ride the 7 miles back to Avon.
