Twenty years of friendship needed to be adequately celebrated. The two of us met at BYU Hawaii in 2006. We both went without knowing a soul, met on the first day at orientation, and have been close ever since. She is the best. Everything is so much more fun with Jessie.
And of course a scrapbook collage of our first few weeks of friendship:
We decided that a getaway to Park City was just what we both needed.
We went to the nicest hotel I have ever stayed at (thanks to an amazing deal that Jess had), Montage Deer Valley. It’s tucked away in the mountains at 8500 ft and prettier than I could have even imagined.
We happily enjoyed every amenity they had to offer.
We checked out the gorgeous indoor pool, too.
And then we went to Park City Main Street, which is about a 7-minute drive from the hotel. Each and every store is so unique here.
For dinner, we went to Handle for a multi-course meal. The watermelon and goat cheese salad was my favorite, along with the steak. Jess and I tend to order and split as many things as possible when we are together.
We woke up the next morning and decided a hike was what we needed.
We left right from the hotel to do the Corvair trail. The trail was gorgeous and shaded almost the entire way.
4.5ish miles of views.
The weather was perfection.
And then we had some fruit and yogurt and hit the pool again. Have you ever been to a pool with recovery tools there for you to use poolside? It was brilliant. We used these for an hour. BY FAR the best massage gun I have ever used.
We ordered some beautiful food and hung out there for a few hours.
How cute were the little kid cabana beds next to the kiddie pool?
And then went shopping on Main Street, along with ice cream.
Then we started the drive back, stopping at Heber Valley Milk & Artisan Cheese for their classic grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup. For the 36 hours we were together, the only time we stopped talking was when we were asleep. It was just what we both needed.
