A quick getaway...to Midway!

So if you remember last week I watched Shan's kids when they went away for a few days. Well, it was finally our turn to disappear for a few days. Part of Jared's Christmas bonus from his company, was a night stay at the Homestead. We were excited to get a way and try out a new resort. For some reason I was expecting Hawaii? Why, I don't know. Maybe it's because I can only think about sunshine and NO MORE SNOW! Well, was I unprepared for more snow...and COLD. To say it was freezing was an understatement. As Jared and I were walking into our little condo house I yelled, "I would make a lousy pioneer! I am such a softy." I really had had it. So we were excited to get into our condo to turn on the fireplace that the nice lady had upgraded our room with...but then it didn't work!

I apologize if it's inappropriate to post a picture of our bed...but the only reason I took a picture was to remember how we had the worst nights sleep or our entire life. By 6am Jared and I both started laughing, saying how we had woken up at least every hour because it was the most uncomfortable mattress ever!!! Not only was the mattress horrible but the sheets were as stiff as cardboard! I felt like I was stuck and suffocating the whole night. It was just ridiculous. Yeah, so this is me wishing I was in Hawaii! Where it's warm. But Jared was excited they had a hot tub outside where he could relax after the bad nights sleep. He loved the hot tub because it was outside and it is was snowing. He loved it!

Our cold little condo!

The best thing I had to say about the Homestead was our free breakfast vouchers to Fanny's Grill. The food was AWESOME. It's amazing how a real breakfast fills you up...unlike cold cereal that lasts for ten minutes. Maybe it tasted so good because it was free too!

When we checked out of the Homestead we headed off to Park City for a few hours of shopping. We found some great deals for the kids and their winter clothes for next year. I love good deals! We then ate an early dinner at the Baja Cantina, it was tasty. It was fun too, because we saw my old college roommate from Utah State University, Becky. So we chatted and talked until their food came. That was a fun little reunion. After dinner we headed back to Midway to stay in my parents time share. We LOVE Worldmark condos...we know what to expect and we just can't enjoy them enough. It was a great little get-a-way! Thanks Shan for enduring our two little monkey's. We enjoyed our time away!! I think we should do this monthly!!!
