Hate to cook? Spend Thanksgiving in Beaver Creek instead

Can’t bear the thought of spending another Thanksgiving in the kitchen? The Westin Riverfront Resort & Spa is now offering a tempting alternative. The Thanksgiving Getaway package is your chance to escape to Colorado’s Vail Valley for a long weekend of relaxation, rejuvenation and of course, lots of turkey and pie.

The package, which starts at $229 per night, includes accommodations in a spacious studio suite, a chance to capture the moment with a family portrait taken by a professional photographer, and of course, a gourmet holiday meal for four prepared by Restaurant Avondale chef/owner Thomas Salamunovich.

What’s for dinner, you ask? The T-day menu includes a choice Blue Hubbard Squash Soup or Lobster Bisque, Autumn Greens or Avondale Caesar, and Roasted Tom Turkey or Braised Beef Short Ribs, all served with traditional sides and a lavish dessert buffet.

And, to prevent any guilt that dessert buffet may cause, the package also includes entry into the 2nd annual Westin Riverfront Turkey Trot, which takes place Thursday morning. Of course, you can always hit the slopes too – Beaver Creek Mountain opens for the season on Nov. 25.

The Thanksgiving package is available from Nov. 23 to Nov. 28, 2009; a three-night minimum stay is required. To book, visit www.westinriverfrontavon.com or call 866-716-8137 and ask for rate plan THNKSGIV.
