Trying to get ALL the way to Colorado ski resorts WITH kids in tow can be nightmare fuel!

But Park City, Utah has so many perks:
✈️ Easy to get to (fly into Salt Lake City -> drive 30 minutes to resorts)
❄️ Fun for kids (ski school, ice skating, snow tubing, and more!)
🛍️ Exploring downtown Main Street is ADORABLE

I created a free guide to Visiting Park City with Kids and recorded a full podcast episode - sharing everything you need to know!

Comment PARK CITY and I’ll send both to your DM’s!

🌴 Comment THE CAPE and I’ll DM you my full podcast episode recapping our Cabo getaway, where we stayed, what we did, and everything you need to know to plan your own trip!

If I could book another 3-night couples getaway in Cabo, THIS is exactly where I’d stay again! 😍

📍 The Cape, a Thompson Hotel in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
@thecapehotel

This hotel is an absolute DREAM for a couples getaway! Gorgeous artsy design, a stunning infinity pool overlooking the ocean, beautifully decorated rooms (ALL with ocean views!), a rooftop bar that’s an entire VIBE 🍸, and breakfast burritos I still dream about.

We spent 3 nights here and absolutely LOVED every second. It’s upscale, romantic, fun, and the perfect spot to sneak away without the kids for a few days!

We would return in a HEARTBEAT. ❤️

✨ SAVE this for your next couples getaway and don’t forget to comment THE CAPE for all the details! taken in The Cape, a Thompson Hotel by @kelsey_graves
