My daughter and I love to do Mother Daughter things. 

Spa days, at home watching movies. Shopping trips with the special ice cream stop after or taking time to go skating during Christmas. Just something for the two of us. 

This year we got the opportunity to do the ultimate Mother Daughter experience: A Trip To Gaylord of The Rockies Mission: Save Christmas! 

As the date neared the anticipation built. My daughter was so excited she packed days ahead of the trip. I have to admit, I did too! 

On the way down we sang Christmas songs and planned what we were going to do once we arrived at Gaylord of The Rockies. 


We were in awe of all the beautiful lighting displays as we arrived. They go throughout the grounds. Inside and out you feel the magic of the holiday in every sparkling light and on the faces of the Gaylord staff. They shine just as bright as the decorations! 

There are so many options to do at Gaylord, but we focused on the things we didn't want to miss. We did some outside fun Skating, Tubing, S'mores, & swimming inside. The main event we didn't want to miss was Mission: Save Christmas featuring Elf™. 

It was the right choice! 

Mission: Save Christmas featuring Elf™ was a hit! So many activities and fun for the whole family. We had a blast making cookies (virtually), throwing snowballs at elves and making music!

Once we were through we wanted to go back again! It was the best interactive experience we've been to in a long time. 

Of course, we couldn't miss out on swimming. After chillin outside we warmed up inside chillin poolside. 


There's still time for you to enjoy everything at Gaylord of the Rockies.
