Thanks to the generosity and willingness of Grandmama to baby-sit, Kevin and I were able to go away for three days kids-free. We had a great time and I am only share a smidgen here … for historical purposes, of course.
We spent the first day playing in Salt Lake City – we went to the temple, ate lunch on top of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, did some shopping, and met up with Uncle Tim, Aunt Kym, and Shaelynn for dinner.
We stayed at the Chateau at Silver Lake up above the Deer Valley Resort in Park City. We were pretty much on top of the mountain! The second day we did some more shopping, rode the Alpine Slide, rode a zip line (EXCELLENT!), enjoyed some fun restaurants, and ended the night watching “Jekyll and Hyde” at the Egyptian Theater.
Most of the leaves had fallen, but it was beautiful up there …
The zipline was over half a mile long and a bit nerve wracking to stand in line for … but so much fun to ride!
Neither one of us had ridden an alpine slide before – next time we’ll take the boys.
Our last day was spent chilling and dragging our feet about having to head home. We were having too much fun. We did tour the Olympic Park where the ski jumps, bobsled and skeleton events from the 2002 Olympics happened.
Thank you so much for watching the boys, Grandmama!!! It was a much needed extended date!
