Vacationing in Park City

Let's see...what should I share. Here's the kitchen in our time share. I haven't made anything more complicated than a bowl of cereal in there so far.

This is the second bedroom...which we are not using. It is actually its own unit, complete with bathroom and small kitchenette.

(2nd bedroom area kitchenette..dining area, laundry etc.)

Main living and dining area. The couch is a sofa bed, as is the couch in the second bedroom. The timeshare sleeps eight.

(Not that I want to have six other people joining us...but for a group get-away, it would be fine.)

Fireplace, mountainside views...each bedroom has its own TV. We caught the movie "The Secret Lives of Bees" last night on HBO. Very relaxing way to catch up on movies!

Dining area....

The "master" bedroom...

With huge double wide tub, and vanity area across from it.

And another vanity, and huge shower.

The lobby had a story board of the upcoming re-decorating. Granite counter tops, new furniture, drapery, carpet etc etc.

We bought the Park City timeshare in view of using exchange privileges around the world. Not wanting to fly anywhere this year, we had to use up our "week" (we actually have four possible weeks) and this week was available at Park City...so that was that.

I have to admit that it is somewhat annoying to realize we have NO ONE who wants to come up to Park City and stay with us. Next year, we are going to try harder to make friends.

Really.

Or bribe strangers who might be willing cook for us in exchange for the second bedroom at a very reasonable rate.

First night we walked over to a Mexican restaurant. That was Sunday night

Monday was our dunk in the Great Salt Lake. It was quite different than last year; the water was cooler, the wind was blowing, and our "bob around" time was much shorter.

Jeff and Rachel came by and brought dinner to cook up. The guys got right to it, we girls set the table and did the small details, including wash up after dinner...(thank goodness for the dishwasher!)

Tomatoes from Jeff's yard, cheese and basil for apps, grilled and steamed salmon, whole wheat garlic toast and pasta w/salad for dinner. Store bought carrot cake for dessert.

We are easy to please...l

Rachel and Jeff both sported their newly purchased jackets from their trip to British Columbia last month.

Tuesday I shopped the end of summer sales up north in Layton, while Jeff and Bernie got in a round of golf. This morning B. and I headed to our favorite breakfast shop behind all the hanging flowers.

Snow could happen in a weeks time, or not for three more months. Be proud while you last pretty flowers!

We mosey'ed around old Park City, taking in all the art galleries and ski shops. The sculpture above commemorates the Olympic meeting in PC a few years back.

Park City was founded in 1884...they are celebrating that fact.

Nicely non-packed old PC. You can hardly move through town during the Sundance film festival, or during ski season.

So now it is 3:30 on Wednesday. The cats are being feed, the bonsai watered, then we will head back up the hill and probably go on the Alpine slide.

Catch you later!
