  4. Street Art in Aspen?

    Blog: Vagabond3 - 17 November 2011

      One of the first things I noticed and loved about the small and quaint downtown Aspen area were these huge, larger than life murals painted on old brick buildings. My dad paints signs similar to this (although a much smaller size) in Florida and I’ve always admired the amount of detail and precision that goes into each unique sign. The end result is truly the work of an artist.  And, while these weren’t the...

  5. No. 4 – USA: Home of the brave

    Blog: See Simi Travel Blog - 24 October 2011

    So... I turned 30 and the world didn't end! Who would have thought? I am happy to say that I was able to complete my travel goal, and am making my way through a quick recap of the countries I visited by my 30th birthday. Why USA? Just to experience the different sub-cultures the country has to offer. The "melting pot", as it is known, is different from east to west coast, from north to south. Oh! and soul food... make a trip just to get you some grits!

  8. Best Mexican Food Slopeside

    Blog: Vagabond3 - 21 September 2011

    I know what you are thinking, “Mexican food and ski slopes… have my dreams come true?” And, the answer would be yes.  I mean, after I get off the slopes, tired from an awesome day of hitting the snow*, I can’t think of anything else I’d rather put in my belly. Give me a taco, burrito or quesadilla any day over an old bowl of chili. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get...

  10. …The Kids Aren’t Permanently Damaged

    Blog: Vagabond3 - 18 August 2011

    Kids make the best crash-test dummies, they’re flexible, have very little motor control, and their permanent teeth haven’t grown in yet.  So watching kids wipe out, I mean totally eat it, is awesome; there’s all the glory of the hard landing but with little to no permanent repercussions.  Well my friends, Milli Vanilli wasn’t the only awesome can’t-take-your-eyes-off-it train wreck to come out of the 80′s, let me introduce you to mutton busting...

  11. SUP in the Colorado River

    Blog: Vagabond3 - 4 August 2011

    Glenwood Springs has built a surfers paradise in the middle of the Colorado River, a perfect wave that cranks 365 days a year/24 hours a day.  It’s man made design allows for several different types of waves across the river, making this whitewater park a great spot for rafting, kayaking, surfing, and even SUP.  On our latest trip to Colorado we got to stop by the Glenwood Springs Whitewater Park...

  14. Snowmass Swings Both Ways

    Blog: Vagabond3 - 2 July 2011

    Snowmass may have world class skiing in winter, but I’m convinced that summer is the best time of year to visit this Aspen neighbor. As we explored the Rolling Fork River and hiked into the mountains, this town showed itself to be full of natural, accessible beauty and home to an array of outdoor sports both of which are world class. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dfGCb3Mno0 Our warm June day began with us covered...

  15. Awesome Compared to Awesome

    Blog: Vagabond3 - 2 July 2011

    Surfing while at the Great Barrier Reef. Sipping hundred year old wine on top of Mount Everest. Batman sitting on Superman’s shoulders. How do you compare epic things when they are literally packed on top of each other without A) Sounding like a lame pitch for NBC’s fall lineup or B) Making one sound less awesome by comparison? That’s the problem with today, Colorado brought us some of the biggest...

  16. The Reinvention of a City’s Spirit

    Blog: Vagabond3 - 28 June 2011

    Beyond the rolling green hills and fire red rocks near Aspen, there are several cities begging to be explored. Not through pushy marketing campaigns or loud tourist attractions, but through unique stories and a back to basics living style. I can’t think of a better way to learn more about a city than through its people, whose city pride can be measured in marble. www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3bJIHadyVA Most of the people we...

    I ate water. I don’t like to admit my failures, but there you go- I got the hard part out of the way first. I guess I should step back and say that I was fighting for bragging rights and maybe step even further back to say that I was taught every skill needed to avoid my spill, but ultimately today began with a benign hotel tour. Our H2O Tour...

  19. 5 Non-Sweaty Reasons to Visit Colorado

    Blog: Vagabond3 - 27 April 2011

    I’m an active guy, but I’ve always been hesitant about visiting the Hippie states.  You know, the handful of states within the US that are so outdoorsy that word ‘free-gan’ emerged.  I’m talking really athletic people, who recycle, and know the names of tree species.  Colorado is a Hippie State.  Don’t get me wrong, I like a hike, but I also like a movie, a coke, and a sit.  So,...

    Blog: Suzy Guese - 18 April 2011

    Home is usually a place we tire of after a point. At the risk of sounding like an unappreciative Coloradoan, I don’t always stop and look at the Rocky Mountains from my window and think how lucky I am to live here. I should, but I don’t. This past weekend, I headed into those mountains [...]
