A Quick Getaway

This year for Christmas, Steve surprised me with an overnight stay in Park City along with a nice dinner. Although the weekend threw us some curve balls, we still managed to find the time to enjoy ourselves in the snow covered mountains.


Steve and I stayed in the Yarrow Hotel just outside of downtown Park City. The room had a kitchenette, king sized bed, and a fireplace.


After finding a place to park, we walked a little bit of main street to our restaurant, CafĂ© Terigo. We definitely looked a little out of place at the restaurant in our dressy clothes but we thought an expensive restaurant meant you were supposed to dress nice. Everyone around us was wearing casual clothes and looked like they just came off of the mountain. I guess one major difference between Salt Lake and Park City is that a pricey restaurant in the valley means you a dress up and a pricey restaurant in Park City isn’t expensive at all.


The next day, before heading home, Steve and I stopped at the outlet stores and did a little after Christmas shopping. We didn’t buy much but it was nice to be away from the inversion and outside in the clean, fresh air.

The quick getaway was fabulous and exactly what I needed although a longer weekend would have been better. There is another hotel we want to try in Park City so our plan is to visit Park City in the summer and enjoy its cooler temperatures.
