Until you have a set of your own, you won’t have any idea of the bond between a grandmother and her grandchildren. I mean I love, love, love my two daughters, but hey, I lived with them through their teenage years! And who doesn’t know how interesting those years can be, especially with girls?
Anyway, I digress. My latest article is actually as a guest blogger for Away.com: excerpted here:

“Welcome to my princess land, Gramma†is how my four-year-old granddaughter greeted me at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs on our recent visit there. I could see how the historic towers might resemble a castle to a four-year-old enthralled with the storybook world of princesses and princes. Perhaps the only missing structures were a drawbridge and moat, but Kaydence didn’t seem to notice.
Enjoy and be sure to click here to read the rest of the article about taking the grandkids to The Broadmoor and Colorado Springs.

Dude ranches are a multi-generational vacation for those that want to enjoy the good ol’ fashioned outdoors. My family enjoyed a dude ranch vaca a couple of years ago, and we still remember how much fun it was.  Â

Here’s the intro from the article: “A herd of horses neigh at your approach while the sun gently slips behind the surrounding mountains. The distant clanging of a bell announces dinner. Slightly sweaty but exhilarated and astride your own mount, you challenge your teenagers to a race back to the ranch.
Leave the “wish you were here” postcards at the general store and bring the whole family along. Who wants to read about your vacation when they can experience it first-hand themselves? Perhaps that’s why multi-generational vacations are one of the most popular travel trends today. Families are made to cowgirl- and cowboy-up at dude ranches, which offer an outdoor invitation to relax and enjoy an Old West experience with your entire family.
Dude ranches are scattered throughout the West and come in all shapes and size. Arguably these ranches are the best setting for your multi-generational family to kick up their heels or kick-back, dude ranches give travelers a first-hand taste of the good old fashioned outdoors – ranch-style. ”
