We all know how much the Drummond family loves a trip to Vail! After all, they plan a getaway to the Colorado town nearly every year. Last winter, they even spent Christmas in Vail! With all that beautiful scenery, outdoor activities, and plenty of delicious eats, it's easy to see why.

Actually, Alex and Mauricio just got back from a recent trip to Vail. They spent some time up in the mountains with Mauricio's family to celebrate Alex's birthday—and show George all of their favorite spots, of course!

Luckily, Alex took us along too, via her Instagram! We'll admit... we might refresh her page just a little too often, but it almost feels like we're right there joining in on all the fun. 😂

This time around, Alex even let us in on a few secrets when it comes to their "happy place." You know those delicious eats we mentioned earlier? Yep, she shared all of her go-to restaurants in Vail—and our stomachs are already growling. Because if there's one thing the folks here at The Pioneer Woman know, it's food! Alex's yummy recommendations range from pizza and burgers to tacos and coffee, so you're sure to find something you love for your next trip. Now let's dig in! Pun definitely intended. 😁
