Park City & Flying Home

Our flight home wasn't until Thursday afternoon, so we spent the morning in Park City. I wish we would've had more time there. It was a cool place, and I would definitely love to go back there sometime. We had breakfast at a trendy little cafe, and then we walked around the olympic training area. Most of it was closed, because of Covid or off-season, but it was still neat to see it. Then we went into a couple of gift shops...can't come home empty handed...before heading to the airport. Jack was awake for most of the flight home, but he still did pretty good. I'm glad we know what it is like to fly with him now. It was a good trial run, before flying with him to DC in April. This was GMa's birthday, so we flew home just in time to meet everyone at a Mexican restaurant not far from the airport for dinner. 
I'm so glad I got to go on this trip with Brian! I have missed traveling with him so much. Thanks to Covid & having a baby, things have just been different. This trip was a sweet taste of "normal" returning! 

Here we are in the shuttle from the rental car place to the airport. Jack's little hat was so cute! 
These shoes were my favorite too!
We almost lost Mickey in the airport, but thankfully I realized he was missing and we went looking for him. Found him on the ground in a gift shop!
Prepared...
Busy, Busy!
Sooooooo cute and squishy!
His socks...hahaha!

Snowmobiling Date

When we were planning our Utah trip, Brian said "Hey I have an idea, let's find a drop-in babysitting place for Jack so we can go snowmobiling." I laughed. Hard. I mean...I have never left Jack in the nursery at church, so I'm not about to drop him off at an unknown daycare in another state. What even?? So I did a little thinking, and we ended up asking Sara if she would like to babysit for us. She was happy to keep Jack for a few hours, and I was happy with this plan because we know and trust Sara & Dustin. This was Jack's first time to stay with anyone other than family, and I wasn't sure how he would do. Especially since I'm nursing and he would have to take a bottle while we were gone. But, I was worried for nothing...he did great! Sara was sweet to send me pics of Jack every once in a while.  
The snowmobile tour was a lot of fun...this isn't something I would necessarily choose to do, but I'm glad we did it! There were 7 or 8 snowmobiles with our group & we had a guide. I was very glad we had a guide that we had to stay behind, because there's no telling how fast and crazy Brian would have driven that thing. He saw the guide jump his snowmobile over a little hill, so of course that was his cue to jump our snowmobile too. We got some pretty good air a couple of times, which was scary and fun at the same time. It was great to spend a few hours doing something fun, just the two of us. 
After our snowmobile tour was over, we grabbed lunch at In-N-Out on our way to pick Jack up. Then we went back to the hotel to get cleaned up, before going into downtown Salt Lake City for a few hours that evening. We just walked around for an hour or so, and then ended up going back to Cafe Zupas and Crumbl cookie again that evening for dinner. It was kind of an all-day-date, which was so fun & needed.
