celebrating dad, utah style

There are lots of fun ways to celebrate dad, but starting off with showing him around Provo and having him sit in the studio- listening first hand to the story I did on father's day was pretty thrilling. 

We set out for Park City Friday morning after a full-fledged BYU tour complete with lunch at, you guessed it, the MOA. 

Dad never gets lost and can navigate a place without a map in his rental car of choice, a hummer.  Our first stop landed us in the gorgeous, idyllic Sundance. 

I felt in love immediately as I smelled the mountain air, eyed the steep lift, and stepped up the wooden planks to their "general store" filled with goodies.  I found presents for mom and sorority sisters alike-

On to our destination, we checked in at our condo at the well-appointed Silver Queen Hotel.  Park City is exactly how you imagine an old Western Town, with modern upgrades, and all the shopping, site-seeing, eating, and photograph opportunities abound-

So, one of the highlights of the entire adventure was having root bear with Dad in an authentic, old, western saloon.  It was pretty memorable!

It looks beautiful there! I'm glad you enjoyed it! And that western saloon looks like so much fun! I would feel like I was in a movie if I was there. :D
