The day has come for us to leave beautiful Park City. Fortunately, we had a full day before we had to travel home, and got to make the most of it. We drove over to the Olympic Park, where we got to see some young kids learning to ski jump, and some aerial skiers practicing their jumps into a pool. Afterwards, we drove back into Park City and rode the Town Lift. We were going to get off and walk around a bit, but despite the fact that there wasn’t anything there, thunderstorms around us and a dark cloud that loomed above us the entire way made us think otherwise. Fortunately, we stayed dry. (I really can’t imagine many worse places to be during a thunderstorm than on a chair lift.) Since it was lunch time, we walked over to Uptown Fare for lunch, then over to High West Distillery for a little whiskey and dessert (a cinnamon coated Krispy Kreme with whiskey ice cream and caramel – ridiculous). As we were driving to the airport, we received an email from the airline letting us know our flight had been delayed, so we made a little detour into Salt Lake City. Since we had a few minutes, we walked around Temple Square, which is absolutely massive. And then, sadly, it was time to leave. We had such a great time. Thanks Utah!
