We didn’t have to go looking for food after a 6-hour drive to the hotel. We stopped on the way to the hotel and grabbed some noodle bowls the kids love, and it was perfect. One travel hack I want to share with you is to always bring dinner with you to a hotel the first night. It made the morning and evening routines flow so much easier. I was excited to have two bathrooms with tubs. They voted on what to watch and Ali said, “Yay! We don’t have to watch mommy and daddy’s boring grownup shows!” I don’t know why he thinks House Hunters is boring. Our room had a king sized bed and the kid’s room had two queen sized beds. We decided to get 2 hotel rooms for this stay. She was so proud, she’s still talking about her win. Anaya scored the highest score in bowling and beat all of us. They had so much fun, they didn’t want to leave. The kids’ favorite part of the hotel was the bowling alley and arcade. This was perfect because we took the fish back to the room for a late night snack. They mostly just ate the fries because the waiter mentioned ice cream. They had a kids’ menu with plenty of options.

(Check out this reel to get a look at the food.) The waiter recommended it to me, and it was some of the best scampi I’ve ever had. I tried the shrimp scampi stuffed with crab. They have plenty of steak and seafood options. They’re also home to Seven Rivers, which is rated the top restaurant in the area, and is absolutely delicious. Here are some of the amenities they have: I love discovering a place where everyone in the family is welcome and can have a great time. They have so many amenities that are adult and kid friendly. `This resort is the perfect place for families. We stayed at the beautiful Sky Ute Casino Resort, which is owned and operated by the Southern Ute Indian Tribe. Ignacio is centrally located between so many amazing places, including Mesa Verde, Durango, Pagosa Springs, and New Mexico. On our most recent road trip, we went to Ignacio, CO. Only have 2-3 days? Perfect! That’s plenty of time for a road trip adventure.

You can take short trips with less expenses.

You have so much flexibility in the schedule. There’s no pressure about missing flights.

You get to explore more of an area when you drive and can stop anywhere you want on the way there and on the way back.

There are just so many benefits to packing up the car and heading a few hours out of town. We are obsessed with road trips right now. This post has been sponsored by Sky Ute Casino.
