Being on a "work trip" (helping the family I nanny for on their vacation), began beyond stressful and tension ridden but could not have blossomed into anything more beautiful. I haven't been to Utah in 6 years, and never in the summer time. Something about the "off season" has so much more appeal to me. Park city is absolutely unparalleled. There is so much to do, in the most spiritually calming setting. Something about the air melts away any problem you seem to be facing, and gives you an appetite for adventure. I signed away a week of my life, to make my employers family vacation as fun and stress free as I could provide. Getting a couple hours off, I headed straight for the mountain behind our resort. I was directed to a trail that ... read more

So we decided that there really isn't much to do in Salt Lake so we headed up to Park City today. It's not that far from SLC, about 30 miles. It is really beautiful up there. It must be amazing in the Winter with all of the snow everywhere. We took the girls to a little amusement park that had an alpine slide and rollar coaster. Of all the the hikes we've done in the desert of utah, why is it that I got sunburned in Park City?! Despite that fact, Park City is really nice. It reminds me a lot of Whistler or what I imagine Aspen or Breckenridge to be. We had lunch at a brewery that had really good food. After most of the day we came back into SLC and took the ... read more

The second stop on our US tour was Park City, Utah. I was married in the 90s to a woman named Nicole who had two children when we met. The marriage was a package deal. Those two children Jeremy and Tarryn are grown now and I have remained in contact with them after Nicole and I divorced in 2001. Jeremy is 26 years old and Tarryn is 24. Tarryn was almost three years old when I met her mother. Tarryn married a man named Daniel before I moved to India and now they live in Utah with their two children named Abriauna and Brayson. Brayson is 18 months old and Abriauna is 4 years old. Jeremy was almost 5 when I met his mother. Jeremy married a woman named Rebecca before I moved to India and ... read more

Day 3 The Canyons Today Natalie and I split up for the day. I visited the Canyons and she went to visit Olympic Park. The Canyons received 10.5 inches of fresh powder. The visit to Canyons was memorable in the fact you took one gondola to reach the village, then another one to ski. The canyon offers the most terrain compared to the other two resorts. Natalie visited Olympic park and took a guided tour of the facility. She saw the bobsled, luge, skeleton track, and Nordic jumps. Later, in the evening we met up with my friend Ann and her boyfriend Greg for dinner at The Blind Dog. It was an enjoyable meal. ... read more

Let's see, so much to write about. It's funny, when you set out on a trip and intend to do one of these blogs you figure you'll make an entry pretty much every day. What we've found is that you find yourself otherwise occupied during the day and pretty tired at night. Nonetheless, here is what could be the final entry before we get home. The first day in Salt Lake was pretty low-key. We were so late getting in we just crashed in the hotel until about noon, then picked up the rental car. We went downtown and had lunch at a cool brew pub called Squatter's in SLC. The thing about SLC is that you can only get a drink at a few places. Brewpubs serve beer as long as you order food. ... read more
