A couple of months ago Talena and I were chatting online about how we needed something to look forward to. I think everyone needs something in the near future to look forward to all the time, hence why I celebrate a lot of random holidays. We came up with the idea to both take a day off from work and have a girly day together. We chose last Monday
(Oct. 8th, I tend to post everything a week late) which was perfect. I had worked a couple of long weeks/weekends, so the break was very much needed.
First we met up for a late breakfast at Talena's place. She made pumpkin waffles, which were amazing.

After breakfast, we headed up to Park City. It tends to be the go to getaway in these parts, since it is so close, but feels far away. Talena and I headed to Main Street and perused art galleries, gift shops and bookstores. Most of our day involved walking and talking, two things we are very good at.

There were pianos out on the street for anyone to play.
Talena displayed her great talents while I threw change
at her. Ok, I really didn't, but I should have! |

| This piano is just begging to be played. |

| Talena made a new friend. |
After exploring downtown Park City, we traveled
(a few streets) to one of the ski resorts. Here we decided to walk and talk some more among the pretty fall leaves. I know I've already posted pictures of fall leaves, but really, you can never have enough pictures of autumn, that's my motto. Well one of my mottos, that would be weird to be my only motto in life.

Talena and I found a tree that matched both of our hair colors and found
that important enough to document. |
 |
We then found the ski lift and felt it was a good idea to hop on one
of the chairs. It wasn't moving at the time; however, I shouldn't
have mentioned that so you could have thought that we were dare devils. |

| Oooo... |
 |
| Ahhh... |
On our way out of Park City, we stopped at the outlet malls and did a little shopping. We then ended our girly day by eating at Cafe Rio. All good days end with Cafe Rio, I'm pretty sure.
Girl days are a must! My BFF Leena and I always go on girl days on our birthdays. (In May and October!) Your day looks like a blast! Wish I lived closer and that you and I could have girl's day! :) I love your leaves pictures - we don't have those vibrant colors down here yet, so I appreciate them! Keep 'em coming!
ReplyDeleteDad and I went to Park City that day too, but we didn't get to the outlet mall until 5:00. Sorry we missed you two beautiful girls! I was able to exchange my new leather coat, though, for one that fit! We then left and went home by way of Heber and had dinner there. Loves!
ReplyDeleteBecky - Thanks! I saw on your blog of your girls day out with Leena for your birthday. Looked like you two had fun!
ReplyDeleteMom - I heard you were up there, too bad we didn't see you. Maybe next time. :) Or next time, we could just go together. So glad to hear you got a coat that fits better!
I love your matching yellow and red tree. Looks like such a fun day.
ReplyDeleteMama Wood - Thanks, we did have fun.
