Park City With Greg and Kathryn


Kathryn and I were able to get away for a night to a bed and breakfast place in Park City. We had stayed at the Woodside Inn a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it so Kathryn decided that we should stay there again. We highly recommend the Woodside Inn!

This trip was originally planned for mid-March but kids got sick and we were not about to pawn off our children on my sister and her family with them being sick. It was good that we didn't go as that was the weekend that Calissa was born and died.

So our new weekend came at a good time. We had dinner at a nice local place off Main Street and then took the free shuttle over to Main Street. Our impression of Main Street in April - not impressed at all. Over half of the stores and restraunts were closed for "Spring Break" and we wandered through some art galleries, trinket shops, and clothes stores. Mostly it was a nice walk after a dinner of almond-encrusted trout and teriyaki salmon.

The next day we went to the outlet stores and we were about 30 minutes in when the power went out in ALL of the stores. I have never seen an area empty so quickly. Some stores tried to stay open but many of them just locked their doors and posted a sign that said they will open when the power comes back on. We wandered for about an hour but left after learning it wouldn't come on anytime soon.

The two pictures are of Kathryn and a bear on a park bench on Main Street, then of me discovering the 'Do Not Disturb' sign on the side of the bed. I saw it when I first entered the room but didn't realize what it was until Kathryn started playing with it - I told her "Don't touch that, it says 'Do Not Disturb'". Needless to say she had a pretty good laugh at my expense.

Many thanks to Chris and Mindy who stayed with the childrens as we were out.

Greg looks pretty good sitting there on a bench but he obviously didn't shave your your getaway.
