park city getaway

 so bran and i got the chance to go to park city through a organization that finds people with cancer, and gives them a free weekend getaway! we got the phone call from this organization and jumped on the chance to get away! we were waiting for months, and time finally came, wasn't quite the weekend we expected, but we still had fun.

we were very excited to use the hot tub...but when we got our suits on and bran went to heat the water...oh wait what water in the hot tub :-( luckily they had big jet tubs, so we just jumped in there instead.

the next morning, i woke up with a little cold. bummer! i took a shower, and fell asleep on the bed for about 3 hours. when i woke up we headed out to go on the ski lifts and then go shopping. it was a beautiful sunny day, a little warm up on the lifts even. we had on pants and t's...i had a very light cardigan on. well we get off the lifts and explore a little (pics below). about 20 mins later it starts to sprinkle a little so we walk back to the lifts. the sky by this point was grey with lightening a little ways away. but the thunder was pretty close. about 10  mins on the lift it starts raining a little harder. about 10 mins later we are drenched! when i say drenched, i mean drenched! it looked like we had jumped in a pool. on top of that cold rain it starts to snow.....oh how lovely. so here we are on top of a mountain on a lift shivering, wind blowing, snow and rain coming down, not helping my cold, and my neuropathy was so bad i started cramping. (i even cried a little ssshhhh). we got to the end, jumped off and RAN to our car for the heater! well dangit, there went our day out, shopping, having fun. so we stopped at the store and got pizza and donuts. mmmmmm! the instant we got back to the house, we jumped in the warm jetted tubs once again! then we ate pizza and i started feeling really sick again so i went to bed at 8pm...party pooper! the next day was sunday and our day to pack up and leave this AMAZING million dollar home! we stopped at the park city outlets on the way home, but didn't find anything worth purchasing.

atleast we had this little adventure together right?

when we got off the lifts to go explore the silver mines!

one of the cool buildings. we didnt go to this one, cause it was WAY too steep to get to

we tried climing in this one, but they had everything all blocked off. there were a few holes we looked into, and wow there is some old, cool machines in there! lets go find some silver!!!
