About 2 weeks ago P's sister jackie and her husband tom came up to celebrate Tom's graduation from EMT school. One of the days they were here we went up to Park City to ride the Alpine Slides. I had never been on them...so it was an adventure. It happened to be pretty chilly (thus the reason I am wearing a coat) and it sprinkled as we were driving up there, but we still had fun. When we first got there, they had closed the Alpine Slides because the rain causes the "brakes" on the sleds not to work, so we bought tickets to ride the Alpine Toboggan-what a rush that was!
It's kind of like a roller coaster where you can control the speed of your car (that is the "toboggan" we are sitting in to the left. Thank goodness we had seatbelts-the curves are enough to make ya feel like you're about to roll over the sides when you get going fast enough!). After we got off the toboggan, we were able to get tickets to ride down the slides as they had dried off enough by then.
This was my second time in Park City-I definitely got a better impression of how fun the home of the 2002 Olympics can be this time around-its more than just a place you can go shopping. (Even if you don't go shopping, its really fun but pretty expensive! Dang tourist towns! Haha) We also visited one of their outdoor festivals they had going on that day-it was all about recycling and reusing. We saw a lot of neat things-some were affordable for us, some were affordable only by the rich, but nonetheless there was something to suit everyones taste (now if we can just get past this "poor newlywed" stage of life... :) just kidding I love being married!)
