In November Josh had a conference at the St. Regis in Park City. He had been out of town the entire week previous and we hadn't seen him too much, so he invited us to come up to Park City for the weekend (the conference hosts had invited families to come and swim/play at the hotel while the conference was taking place...)
I am always up for an adventure, so I packed the boys up and we headed to Park City. The hotel room was one of the nicest I have ever stayed in. The boys thought it was pretty awesome. They also thought the fridge and drawers full of treats were the greatest thing ever!
It was a COLD day in November, but since the pool was heated, we decided to take a swim. The boys had so much fun and would go and play in the snow and then get in the pool. McKay and I kept pretty close to the hot tub. We had the entire pool and 2 hot tubs to ourselves, it was pretty awesome.
That night Josh went to a dinner for the conference and the boys and I had room service. This isn't something we do too much when we are in hotels, so the boys were once again, in heaven. They loved it. We watched "Brave" while Josh finished up his conference.
After Brave was over we headed down to the game room to wait for Josh. The boys loved it. I didn't get pictures of everything, but it had pool, video games, a play room, air hockey and some game the boys loved, but I have now idea what in the world it was (neither did they, they just made something up, but it was fun!)
McKay totally thinks he is one of the big boys. It is so cute to see him jump right in with them all.
That night the hotel hosted s'mores on the patio. It was AWESOME! Once again another first. All of the trees around the patio were decorated in white lights and the ambiance was just perfect.
The boys loved roasting marshmallows over this huge outdoor fire.
It was so fun. We didn't end up staying overnight as the boys had school the next day. We headed back down to our house while Josh stayed for the last day of his conference.
The next day I dropped the boys off with my awesome sister (where they were in heaven to be spending the night. She is pretty fun), and headed back up to Park City to go to a dinner with Josh for his conference. It was lovely and the food was awesome. It was fun to see some old friends that Josh has worked with over the years.
After dinner we ducked out to go to a movie. We went to see "Lincoln". We didn't know anything about the movie except that it got good reviews, and we fell in love with it. Obviously we are huge Lincoln fans as we named one of our sons after him, but after seeing the movie I loved him that much more. Such a must see.
The boys (and my) favorite part about this hotel was the funicular that you have to take to get up to it. It is a windowed car that goes up and down a track from the lobby to the main part of the hotel. It was pretty fun.
Later that day I headed to The Nutcracker with my friend Kristen (one of my favorite traditions), and the boys headed to my brother's house for the USU football game. It was SUCH fun weekend!
