Out and About

After a glorious morning of skiing, we took Cooper out for a snowshoe hike. It was such a beautiful day today. Hopefully, we get that storm they are predicting for Monday and Tuesday. It's always nice to get a fresh coat of white stuff.

My Trip to Alaska

This past week was another winter break for our school district, so I took that time to visit my girlfriends up in Anchorage. It was so great to see everybody. We definitely had some quality "girl time." :)


This is a photo taken from Powerline Pass. Anchorage is in the background.


I was so excited to see Sarah, the bloodhound, again. I brought up 2 of Cooper's toys for her and brought back 2 of her toys for Cooper.


I stayed with my friend, Angie. They have a little girl named Natalie and let me tell ya, this little girl (and her parents) have been through a lot in her 16 months. What a strong family.


One morning, I did a little snowshoeing at Kincaid Park, one of the places where Andy and I would go a lot. It has changed a lot. I even caught sight of some moose. It's kind of hard to see, but it is the dark spot in the middle of the trees.


On my last night in Anchorage, we went out for a tasty dinner at Kinley's. I'm pretty lucky to have such wonderful friends.

A Date to Snowed Inn

It was our 6-month anniversary this past Monday. Can you believe it's already been 6 months? To celebrate (along with Valentine's Day since I'll be up in Alaska), we splurged on a fun sleigh ride and dinner at the Snowed Inn Sleigh Company. It was so much fun! The sleigh ride up took about 20 minutes. Upon our arrival we were treated to hot apple cider. Dinner started off with soup (or chili), followed by your choice of prime rib, chicken or fish (along with garlic mashed potatoes and salad). To top it all off, we had a delicious brownie with vanilla ice cream for dessert. Yummy! What a treat!


That's John, our sleigh driver.




All bundled up on a snowy evening

A Night of Relaxation

Andy and I both had a tough day skiing. Okay, so it wasn't that tough, but we still felt we needed a little relaxation tonight. There is this great place on Main Street called Mountain Body. It has an herbal "deli" where you can get Utah mud. Each masque has a different purpose, or there is also some mud you rub on your achy feet. Maybe we should try that next time...


Cooper felt the need to be in the photo, as well.

It Doesn't Get Better Than This...

I just wanted to post a few photos of beautiful Park City. Ahhhhh....


A view from the chair lift--that's a hot air balloon in the background.


The Park City Mountain Resort hosted the World Cup halfpipe competition last weekend. We didn't see him, but we heard Shawn White in the announcer's tent.
