This weekend, we enjoyed one of our favorite annual traditions which was a trip to the Molly Brown House museum in Denver for the Victorian House of Horrors. We stumbled upon this event by accident and through a referral from one of Melissa’s coworkers about ten years ago and have been going ever since. In the two weekends leading up to the actual weekend of or before Halloween, Historic Denver presents this event at the Molly Brown House (of unsinkable, in reference to her Titanic survival, fame). There are about 5-6 readings in various rooms of the house performed…

We were lucky enough to buy a condo in East Vail five years ago (a purchase we both agree may have been the best we’ve ever made). While it is true that Vail is best known for it’s winter sports options, winter is only a small part of why we love Vail. That said, let’s focus on winter.
