this weekend's moment was more of a weekend getaway full of many memorable moments.
place: eagle point resort - fish lake national forest - beaver, utah
reason for the trip: gordon has decided he'd like to say he has skied/snowboarded every resort in utah. (and it was a valentine's gift to each other)
the resort was nice. not too expensive. the mountain is small. the runs were on the short side (just my style!). we never waited in a line to ride the lifts. every employee was super nice and took care of us well. i especially liked being called young lady and being asked if i was 21. i didn't particularly care for the "good job" comments I received each time i successfully got on and off the lift or the time one of the "lifties" called me "a little boy. oh wait i'm sorry, little girl." wrong on both accounts sir and i'm not a child!
i loved the mountain taxi that took us from one ski lift area to another.
i loved the "speed" i thought i had whizzing down the mountain.
i loved boarding through a tunnel.
i loved that our condo was right outside one of the runs.
i loved that when we wanted to break for lunch we just went to our condo & relaxed with some hot cocoa.
i loved that we had no wifi
i loved watching sons of anarchy on the ipad snuggled up in bed.
i loved the macaroni and cheese we got as an appetizer. and the pan roasted chicken gordon got for dinner.
i loved sleeping in and cooking breakfast together.
i loved singing "material boy" by millencolin with gordon on the drive there and back.
i loved exploring a new place by snowshoe with my favorite person in the world.
*perhaps we have found our new favorite place. a place where we dream of owning a cabin someday (we're going to explore this canyon more this spring/summer to really see if we want to dream this dream...so far we love what we've seen).
