Greetings from Park City


Steve and I took Friday off of work and headed to Park City for a couple days. It's been fun but we realized that there isn't much going on in May in Park City. We looked at the city guide in our hotel room and it had activities for all the months of the year EXCEPT May, we had a good laugh over that.

I dont know why this paragraph is in blue, blogger is making me crazy so I give up. I tried to put these pictures with the rest but it's not cooperating! The first one is some marmots we saw while on the lift, they were getting a front row seat at the Alpine slide. The second on is at the nature preserve.

Some of this trips hiccups:
-The weather isn't warm enough for water activities (we wanted to go jet skiing)
- The art museum we like to go to is in between exhibits
- I forgot my deodorant

We've managed to do some things and its been nice to get away from work, and packing and cleaning.

Fun things we've done:
- Went to Swaner Nature Center/Eco Preserve. We saw Sandhill Cranes, a muskrat and lots of passerines.
- We rode the ski lift and went down the Alpine Slide. We saw lots of marmots while we were on the lift.
- We soaked in the hot tub (too bad there were leaves and other crap floating all over)
-I got a free lettuce wrap because my first one had dirt in it

Today we are going to get a candy apple and go shopping at the outlets. All in all its been a nice getaway.

Around where we saw the muskrat




















Unfortunately, moments after this picture was taken Steve was eaten by that wolf.




















Hope everyone is having a good Memorial Day weekend!
