Snowbird

For our anniversary, Trent suprised me with a trip to Snowbird. At first I wasn't too sure about it--afterall, Snowbird is a ski resort and it is July. But man did we have a blast! We stopped for dinner at the Cheesecake factory on our way up the canyon and had an awesome meal. The most entertaining part of dinner was the busser--this guy was amazing! As soon as a party left thier chairs to go, he'd pounce on the table, clear it, wipe it down, and set it in seriously less than 30 seconds and then 10 seconds later the table would be sat with a whole new party. It was incredible!
After our very entertaining dinner, we headed up the canyon and checked into our room. Our room was less like a hotel room and more like a studio apartment complete with kitchenette and a bed that pulled down from the wall. We also had a little balcony we could sit on that overlooked the slopes. It was so beautiful!
In the morning we had vouchers for a free breakfast buffet. It was an open restaraunt (complete with a rogue wild squirrel running around) and the food was great. After breakfast and checing out of our room, we went and got our all day activity pass. We were able to ride the zip-line and the alpine slides numerous times, walk the ropes course, jump on the bungee trampolines, and ride the Peruvian ski lift to almost the top of the mountain, walk through a tunnel to Mineral Basin, hike up the rest of the mountain to the tram and ride the tram down. It was quite the day! Thank you Trent for our best anniversary yet!

What an awesome anniversary! Good job Trent for a great surprise. Five years flew by, didn't it? I too LOVE the Cheesecake Factory.

Sounds like a great day! It made me wish it was our anniversary... and we were in Utah with a babysitter and could spend the whole day together... and I wasn't "great with child" ;) I'd love to catch up soon. I hope you are doing well! I miss you Whit!
