First time to Utah (but not first time in the snow)

March 8, 2012

I mentioned a few times that I was going to Utah and I took 2 cameras with me so I got quite a few photos. As you can imagine Utah is pretty cold this time of year but Austin is rather warm this time of year. I was so confused about what to wear to the airport. I finally decided that I would dress for the warm day in Austin and then slip on my boots and coat once we landed in Utah (that worked very well).

For me seeing piles and piles of snow was not out of the ordinary being from Michigan. Walker, on the other hand, was completely amazed and it was so fun to see him in utter awe of it. The mountains are not something I’m used to so the drive through the mountains was really beautiful. The coldest night was the first night so we didn’t spend much time walking around but we did enjoy the outdoor hot tub. Walker got to see what it was like to have frozen hair. haha!

Snowboarding was alright, I went down the bunny hill 4 0r 5 timesĀ  and decided it was a little too intense for me and spend the rest of the day playing in the snow. Snowshoeing was my favorite (I’ll have a post about that tomorrow). It was a rather short trip but we enjoyed ourselves quite a bit.

The picture of Walker and I looking disinterested is one of my favorites from the trip. One because it’s just kind of funny and two because we are both wearing sweaters that I knitted. I teased him about that a bit. But come on it’s super cute right?! Also I wore the hat I knitted for this trip and wrote about here.

 

More Pieces of Blissdom

Turns out I had the connection I needed to get pictures onto my computer from my fancy camera so I’m able to share more photos from my trip to Blissdom. Enjoy!

 

 

Still Processing Blissdom

March 1, 2012

I mentioned last week that I was heading to Blissdom. It was quite the whirlwind and since getting back I’ve had little time to reflect on what I took away from the weekend. I’ve yet to finish unpacking and I’m heading out again tomorrow for Utah. Oh my! Here are a few photos from my trip (there are more on my new fancy camera but I need to get a card reader before I can share).
