Park City Getaway

Grant and I were brave parents this past weekend and left Eliot overnight for the first time since he was born ... almost two years ago! We were long overdue for a getaway with just the two of us, and it was relaxing and fun and romantic ... just what we needed!  We stayed in an awesome condo at the base of one of the ski resorts.  We ate out and had some amazing barbecue at a place on Main Street, we shopped the incredible Memorial Day Weekend deals at the outlets (My most amazing find?  A fantastic pair of black dress pants from Gap for $2.12!!!  Yes -- $2.12!!  They were marked down to $6.99, and I had a $5.00 coupon.  I was and am so proud of myself for that one!), we also saw the new Night at the Museum, which was very fun, especially since the theater was filled with families, and it was really fun to hear the kids' reactions.  We went for walks and cooked up yummy breakfasts in the condo, celebrated Grant's birthday by indulging in way too much macadamia-nut toffee from the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory (is it embarrassing that the same guy rang us up both times we went in and ordered the same thing?!) ... which all added up to a perfect weekend!  We did miss our Moose and were happy to hear that he had a wonderful weekend himself, getting to stay up late and eat pizza and ice cream, he got to visit his cousin Cole and ride in Grandpa's truck while watching "Eddie" on the fancy DVD player (now he thinks he needs to ride in the "tuck" and watch Eddie wherever he goes!), he got out of naps, and even to take his Aunt Gaylyn's dog on a walk ... we're pretty sure he hardly missed us at all!   Here are some of the highlights of our weekend:

Grant says this picture was just awkward to take, so sorry if we look a little goofy and are laughing in this picture, but it's a good representation of our time spent together.  So many times throughout the weekend Grant would say random little things, not trying to be funny, that would just crack me up.

Cozy!  So nice to get to have one-on-one time with Grant!  I just love being with him.  

The condo we stayed in, which was newly renovated and pretty plush ...and cost less than the chain hotel we stayed in in Boise on our trip back from Oregon!  Thank you, Craig's List!

Because you needed to see what our bathroom looked like.  Sorry, it's a habit of mine to document the places we stay ... to give me ideas for our house someday, maybe? I'm not really sure, but I just like to remember ...

I dream of owning a king-sized bed like this someday!

And here's me, feeling fabulous in my new purple top, one of my great finds at the outlets.

I love this picture even though it's blurry and I look kind of crusty since my watery allergy eyes had cried off most of my makeup by this point.

This is us indulging in the amazing, awful-for-us macadamia toffee.  Worth every penny of its $19.95/lb. pricetag!  (No, we did not buy a whole pound, or even close ...)

And why not?  You definitely see things in Park City that you just don't see every day.  Like this "blinged-up" pug statue outside of a pet pampering store.  Grant insisted on puckering up for this photo op ... or I might have made him.
