Anniversary Weekend Get-a-way

Saturday, August 7, 2010 was our 6 year Anniversary! A few weeks ago Ben told me that he scheduled a night for us to stay at Little Bell. Little Bell is a townhouse in Park City that one of Ben's clients, PCG, owns. PCG (Private Capital Group) is a hard money lender. They lent some guy some money, he used his house as collateral and didn't pay, and now PCG owns it. They now just rent the house out for vacationers, but they were kind enough to let us use it as it wasn't booked this weekend.

Then last week, Ben's firm sponsored a hole in a Golf Tournament....which meant that Ben got to play in the tournament....what a fun work day for him! At the tournament they had a silent auction. Ben put in a bid for a one night stay at the Anniversary Inn, dinner for 2 at Tuconos, 2 tickets to a play. He was the highest bidder, but paid less than half of what a room would have cost one night at the Inn....Great Deal! So we decided to use both nights in one weekend!

So Friday Ben came home from work early and we packed and left for our exciting weekend with out the girls!!! THANK YOU to Jordan who watched the girls for us! The girls sure are going to miss her when she moves.

We went to Cheesecake Factory for dinner (they were supposed to send our gift certificates for Tuconos, but hadn't yet, otherwise we would have used them)

Then we went to see a movie! ....we saw Eclipse....Ben let me pick!

Afterward we stayed at the Anniversary Inn. If you have never experienced the Anniversary Inn, you should. Each room is decorated with a different theme. You get to pick what theme you want to stay in, depending on what rooms are open. We called ahead, and decided in the Mysteries of Egypt Suite.

This guy was in our bathroom!

In the morning we got breakfast delivered to the room (it was part of what you pay for) then we packed up and drove to Park City.

We went to the outlets and walked around for a little bit, then headed over to Olympic Park walked around the museum and watched the Flying Aces show! (click the link to see a video...and you can click on the picture to make it larger....we got a picture right as the guy was in the air!) It was AWESOME!!!

Then we drove to Deer Vally Resort and ate at the Royal Street Cafe'. While we were eating this lady came up to us and asked if we wanted her lift passes. They already bought them and decided not to use them, and didn't want them to go to waste. We didn't have anything planned, so we took them and went up the lifts. We walked around the mountain top....and it was freezing! We didn't think we would need coats!

When we were done, we went to check out the Little Bell. It was pretty much the coolest house ever!!! I don't know why we've never took advantage of staying there before?

This was the hot tub/waterfall that was located right off the master bath!!!

We came home an hour before Church started.

It was a perfect weekend!

Love you Ben!!! Happy Anniversary!!!
