Thanksgiving #2

Did a little Thanksgiving decorating before we headed to UTAH!!! My brother and I haven't spent thanksgiving together in a long time and the flights worked in our favor (headed out on a 6:00 AM flight Wednesday morning... that was EEEAAARRRLYYYY!!!!) and arrived safely in Salt Lake City!


 We headed out to Park City to the Outlet stores... yep there is a little snow there.
 although there is snow ther is not quite enough for skiing... you can kinda see the ski runs on the hills.
 then we headed to downtown Park City... I love all the little shops there...


 then we ate lunch here... can't remember the name but it had way good food!
 um.... filled up the back of Dan't truck with a few shopping bags!
 Thanksgiving day is here and Dan made reservations at the Prarie Schooner....
 Friendly greeters were there to welcome us!
 This place had atmosphere!!!
 and lots of friendly people!
 yep... there were covered wagons everywhere! how cool is that!!
 I mean really.... we are going to eat in a covered wagon!!
 And there were lovely dead animals all around!

 This is just a little appetizer of deep fried mushrooms...YUM!!!
 And our Thanksgiving dinner... it was SO good!!
 Mike always smile when he is eating PRIME RIB!!! His fav!!
 We had so much fun ... we might have to make this a new tradition!!!
 Right accross from the restaurant was this cool spot... so we took a little walk...had to walk after all that eatin!!

 Then we went for a drive... LOOK... there are Oreo cows... (don't look too close... they are fake! I was so dissappointed!)
 Day after Thanksgiving means MORE shopping!!! Filled up the back of Dan's truck again!
 Friday evening we went to one of my most favoritest restauants... Tucanos!!!

 And our favoritest and most yummy dessert in the world... raspberry cheesecake!!!
 Um.... did I mention how COLD it was (I was)?!?!? I had on boots, two pair of socks, long johns, three shirts, a ski coat, two pair of gloves and my scarf wrapped snuggly around to keep the cold off my face!!!! Mike and Dan pointed out that not everyone was dressed like me. What? are those other people CRAZY!!! They must be freezing!!!
 Well... the reason I was dressed SO warm is because we went to see temple lights and I wanted to enjoy every second! I have never been to Utah at Christmastime so this was a huge treat to me!!
 Hmmmmm..... these are the two guys that were making fun of the way i was dressed..... OK.... no comment from me.. the picture says it all!!! Ha!!
 me and my sweetie!
 It was SO pretty!

This is my favorite picture!!! I love how the temple glows!!
We had a GREAT Thanksgiving #2... thanks to our wonderful host and chaffauer... my awesome brother and to Mike for going along with me on another adventure!I have a great traveling buddy!!

About Me

My photo
Hi there everyone! I've noticed that a lot of people have a little life story on their blogs. So, always wanting to keep up with the latest BLOG trends, I've decided to put on a little blurb about my life for anyone that's interested. BUT, so no one is bored or has heard it all, I've put MY LIFE in ORIGINAL story form... Once upon a time there was a brown eyed girl, born of goodly parents, who set out on a journey. She traveled for a very VERY long time, through desert, mountains and forests and along the way she brought with her 6 wonderful treasures. But, alas, there were dark times, battles and dragons along the way, but she kept on going, with her treasures giving her strength and direction. Then in the desert, she met a blue eyed handsome prince, who had also been on a long long journey, and he had 2 treasures. So as you might have already guessed the ending.... the brown eyed girl and the blue eyed prince along with their treasures and a bunch more treasures, lived very happily ever after! Life is GOOD! It's party time now!
