Park City

We all decided we that we needed to have a mini vacation. Luckily, my Aunt and Uncle own a house in Park City. It is up at the top of main street, so it is very convenient. Right when we got there I knew exactly what we had to do... visit the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. I freaking love their caramel apples. So, we headed down Main in search of coffee and chocolate. We stopped by the "Java Cow" for some ice cold refreshment. It was alright... not the best coffee I have ever had, and definitely not worth $9 for two lattes. They did have a pretty sweet food selection though, if you want to spend $7.25 for half a sandwich. We left the Java Cow for some caramel apple lovin'. I had the Oreo... which is a green apple, dipped in caramel, dipped in white chocolate, dipped in Oreo crumbs. Ahhhh... it is so good. We walked around for a little while after this and decided to head up the 4 flights of stairs on the mountain back to the house. It was actually a great idea because it gave us a mini workout after the sugar overload.
After we unpacked our stuff and fed Sophia we headed down to Baja Cantina for some mexican eats. Later, we had a brilliant idea. Their is a pool at the Marriot Hotel that is really nice, and Megan and Brady always sneak in. We decided to give it a try. So we get out of the car, sneak in through the parking garage, and take the elevator up to the pool. We were in the water for about 6 minutes before some guy came and asked Kevin and Brady what room we were in. He said "the gentleman over there wanted me to make sure you were guests." WTF. This dude wasn't even swimming. He was just standing there starting at people like pervert. Needless to say, we left. It was a fun little adventure though...
The next day we walked down to Main Street again and went to the "Park Silly Days" street vendor market thing. It was weird and very expensive. My parents bought Sophia cute little beanie (see below). We missed out on the belly dancers with swords because we got there too early, but we did get to see half naked guy play his didgeridoo. It was bad. We were starving so we went to the deli for some sustenance, and then walked back up main street to once again brave the stairs. The first time it was fun, this time with a baby who weighs almost 20 pounds, daiper bag, and stroller. Not so much.
After we recoueperated it was time for the outlet malls. I used to love going up to Park City for some outlet mall shopping, but I have to say now it's more like an overly crowded strip mall that is more expensive than the one down the street from my house. Some store still have really good deals if you are willing to fight the crowds and search the racks. Usually I would be all about this, but Sophia was not. So, after a few purchases and a visit with Crystal, we left.
The rest of the trip was pretty much spent relaxing, eating, and other random activities. It was a great little weekend, and very much needed. Here are a few pictures. I always forget to take my camera for the good stuff, but my mom has some better ones so I will post them later.
