Park City

Park City has become an anniversary tradition for us. So we figured we would stick with it this year as well. Ryan's parents took Andrea for a few days so we could enjoy some time alone. We just love Park City, the weather is cooler, I love historic main street, and the outlets are a great place to buy Andrea some fall clothes. Last year we invited a few of our friends to go with us but it didn't work out. Kristi joined us for dinner however, and this year we talked her into staying up there one night.
The first day we did some shopping at the outlets, they always have great sales! We checked-in to the hotel and wanted to take Kristi to our favorite Park City restaurant, Baja Cantina. After dinner we killed time by walking old Main Street before our ghost tours began. We've wanted to do the tour in the past but couldn't bring ourselves to pay the price. Kristi got Park City ghost tours tickets 50% off, so we were very excited.

The ghost tour was... interesting. The history of the old buildings was more interesting than anything. Our tour guide was really enthusiastic about the ghosts, but we didn't see one :(

The next morning after breakfast we headed to Midway for Swiss Days. The crowds were insane and so were the prices! I don't do very well with crowds so I really couldn't enjoy it. We bought some more iron flowers for our flower bed and were on our way. Kristi bought a "chicken crossing" sign from the same booth, so at least we spent a little money at the event.

After lunch, at another great restaurant, the Bridge, Kristi decided to head back home. That left Ryan and I with not much to do. So we took a nap, visited Main Street again, and then decided to try to capture a ghost. We took the better camera to the tour "hot spots" and think we may have caught something, but you decide...

We immediately saw a woman in the window. This school building is supposed to be haunted by the mean principal, I don't remember her name. But apparently she has tried to harm construction workers during remodels.

Saturday morning we had a nice breakfast on Main Street and decided to visit the Olympic park. Being a Utah resident it really is a shame that it took us so long to visit something that was seen worldwide. There were quite a few skiers practicing their jumps, so that was really fun to watch. The water is aerated, so it's soft when landing. We walked around to see the bobsled track but decided we should come back and do the whole tour sometime.

I tried to get a skier in the background but my timing was off.

Pretty cool!

We had such a great time, but I'm sad it's over. I guess I'll have to plan something else to look forward to now.
