Park City – Day…well the rest of the days
So I haven’t been as good at my blog this week as I thought I would be, so here is a recap of what we did for the rest of our vacation. On Wednesday we drove into Salt Lake for a day of shopping. We first went to Hip & Humble, it is a really awesome and eclectic little store. After that Alex and I went to Modern Display the check out the Christmas deorations This is one of our little traditions we do every year. Next we ate at Hires Big H Drive-In…so yummy! There was a party in my tummy…so yummy…so yummy! Gourmet Magazine wrote this about Hires:
“Better to head for Hires Big H drive-in downtown, where actual carhops will take your order once you turn on your headlights. The Big H Burgers are fresh-ground, the buns the real item, the onion rings (served with another local wrinkle: ‘fry sauce,’ an amalgam of mayonnaise, ketchup, and who-knows-what secret ingredients) a credit to the genre.
Go native by ordering a Salt Lake favorite, the pastrami burger, an outrageous concept in which layers of cured meat add a salty, peppery je ne sais quoi to your basic hamburger patty. Finish with that classic Mormon cocktail, the frosty root beer float. Who cares if it’s winter? Utahns’ love affair with ice cream thrives year-round.”

Alison is right…you should check out Hires if you are ever in SLC!!! We went to Ikea next which I LOVE!!! I didn’t buy anything because 1-I am poor and 2- Alex and I already have to much stuff jam packed into out 777 square foot house. But when we move into our new house we will have to do some serious shopping at Ikea.
The Cheesecake Factory just opened up its first restaurant in Utah last Thursday so of course we had to get some cheesecake. Alex had the Oreo and I, of course, had the Keylime. Why would I get anything else?
Last stop was Costco. I know it is hard to believe but we didn’t actually buy anything. I think that is a first for…well anyone. By this time Paige was SO done shopping so we headed back to the resort.
On Thursday Kelli was back in Park City with us so we headed back to Main Street to do a little portrait session. Here are some of the shots from the day:
This is my favorite shot of the day…
After we finished taking pictures we ate at The Eating Establishment.
It was pretty good. I had the hamburger…Alex had the french dip and Kelli had the salad. After that we went back to the resort and relaxed in the pool.
Friday was check out day…so after we checked out we headed back into SLC to watch Union play Judge Memorial in the state playoff game. Sadly, Union got their butts handed to them. Better luck next year!!!
It was a great week. Can’t wait to go on the next vacation…I want to go to Oregon next!
