Thursday, December 3rd – United Flight to Denver, CO
Today is a travel day as we head to the mile high city of Denver, CO. We will pickup for this tour in two different southeast Texas towns – Liberty and Silsbee. Upon arrival at Denver airport, we will be greeted by our bus driver who will take us to the beautiful Gaylord Rockies Resort where we will check-in and drop our luggage.
We will visit our kids distillery after we check-in at the Gaylord Rockies. Tucked into the foothills just outside Denver, Talnua Distillery offers a distinctive and memorable stop during our time in the Rockies. This isn’t just another distillery visit – it’s an introduction to something rare in American whiskey-making: the art of single pot still whiskey, a style rooted in Irish tradition but uniquely expressed here in Colorado.
During our visit, we’ll have the opportunity to learn firsthand from our passionate son in-law and daughter about the distillation process, from grain to glass.
Step into a wonderland carved by expert artisans out of 2 million pounds of colorful ice. You’ll see larger-than-life sculptures and even plunge down slides made entirely of ice in this Gaylord Hotels original experience.
Considered one of the world’s most spectacular holiday light displays, Blossoms of Light is an incredible display of holiday lights held at the beautiful Denver Botanic Gardens. You can expect to see oodles of gorgeous twinkling lights sparkling against the backdrop of diverse flora and naturalistic landscapes in the urban oasis that is the Denver Botanic Gardens during Blossoms of Light.
Stepping into the Denver Christkindl Market is like being transported to a festive European village right in the heart of Denver. Set against the backdrop of the city’s downtown skyline, this charming open-air market captures the warmth and wonder of a traditional German Christmas celebration.
Wooden vendor huts line the square, each one glowing with twinkling lights and filled with handcrafted treasures – from delicate ornaments and nutcrackers to cozy winter scarves and artisan gifts. The air is rich with the unmistakable aromas of roasted nuts, sizzling bratwurst, and warm spiced drinks, inviting you to slow down and savor the season.
As you wander through the market, the sounds of live music and cheerful conversation create a joyful rhythm, while festive décor and towering Christmas trees set the scene. Whether you’re sipping hot cocoa, browsing for the perfect keepsake, or simply taking in the atmosphere, the Christkindl Market offers an authentic and heartwarming holiday experience that brings the spirit of Christmas to life in the Rockies.
A visit to Hammond’s Candies is a delightful step back in time and sweet highlight of our Denver experience. Since 1920, this iconic candy maker has been crafting handmade treats the old fashioned way, and the moment you walk through the doors, the sights and scents instantly awaken a sense of nostalgia.
During our tour, we’ll watch skilled confectioners stretch, twist, and shape vibrant ribbons of candy right before our eyes. Of course, no visit would be complete without sampling a few of 3 4 their signature sweets. It’s a joyful, family experience that adds a touch of sweetness and wonder to our Christmas in the Rockies adventure.
An evening at Candlelight Dinner Playhouse is the perfect blend of holiday elegance and lively entertainment. Nestled in the charming town of Johnstown, CO, this beloved venue invites us to relax and savor a memorable night where fine dining meets Broadway-style performance.
As the lights dim and the curtain rises on Irving Berlin’s Holiday Inn, the magic of the season comes alive through timeless music, dazzling choreography, and a heartwarming story centered on love, friendship, and the joy of celebrating life’s special moments.
