But anyway, back to realizing my schedule for November was pretty much booked, and I could maybe plan on seeing Mic around Thanksgiving... I decided that we needed a weekend away. (not to mention we never did anything for our anniversary since Mic was in Alaska).I wanted to go somewhere close since we didn't have a lot of time, and St George sounded nice, but I didn't really feel like driving 4 hrs after Mic got off work Friday. So once again we headed to Park City.
I found a deal for a lodge right near the ski resort, and
close to Main Street. Going to Park City in the “off season” is actually pretty
nice. There are deals for hotels, and less people.
While I was waiting for Mic to get off work, I "researched" where
to go to dinner. I’m the worst at making decisions when I’m hungry so I figured
it would be smarter to plan dinner before we headed to Park City and before I got to the point
of “nothing sounds good, let’s just eat anywhere”/bratty.
I also wanted to try new places this trip. So for dinner we went to The High
West Distillery. It’s located in a 1914 two story Victorian house, and is also
Utah’s first legal distillery since 1870. Very cool restaurant, and pretty good
food.
After dinner we went back to our room & just relaxed/hung
out. We played random games off Mic’s phone that he downloaded- some trivia
games & an odd “would you rather...” game.
Saturday we went to breakfast at No Worries Café. It isn't near the touristy part of Park City, and is a cute small café out of the way
of everything. But oh so delicious. Then we shopped at the outlets &
redrock, but neither of us found anything that we needed. I was craving cookies
from Paradise Bakery (which Park City doesn't have) but we did find a Kneaders
so we got dessert from there. Almost as good as Paradise cookies.

I wanted to check out the Homestead’s fall scarecrow
festival that was going on Saturday and maybe try out the crater so we headed
to Midway. The festival wasn’t as big as I’d thought it would be, but walking
around the Homestead was fun and brought back memories from when my family had
stayed there when I was a kid. We’d brought our swimsuits for if we wanted to
swim at the crater but soon realized that it was more like a big hot tub (and I’d
rather hot tub in our lodge’s hot tub than pay to “soak”).

Afterwards, I don’t know why I
suggested we head to Heber, but we ended up driving there as well. I dragged
Mic to two thrift stores in Heber. Both are located in what used to be old
houses. Kinda odd walking room to room through an old house and looking at
thift store stuff. I didn’t find anything there either. But it was still fun,
for me at least. Mic dislikes thrift stores.
Back in Park City we went to dinner at Butcher’s Chophouse.
We’d walked by it after dinner the night before and saw that it was crowded so
I’d told Mic that we should try that place too. And unbeknownst to us, our
waiter informed us that there was a special going on & most all of the
entrees are priced two for one! Even better, since steak places are usually
pricey. So apparently in the off season (until Nov 15th) that place
has 2 for 1 deals- so check it out. Good food, pretty good service.
We didn't take near as many pictures of the two of us as I
would have liked. But it’s hard to take pictures of the two of us ourselves
& they all end up looking the same anyway really.
PS Thanks to Mace for house sitting my house for the weekend,
and watching our crazy pets so we could get away.

| I promised Mic that I wouldn't take pictures of EVERYTHING we ate, like a crazy person, but I did HAVE to take a picture of my delicious strawberry crepes from The Eating Establishment- an all time fav place of ours- but technically we've never eaten breakfast there.. so it didn't really break my "only new places" rule. |
