Park City - Bachelor Party/Ski Trip

So it's taken me a week to put this post together. Taking vacation is great, but coming back to work after being gone isn't so much fun. Even only 2 days off still seems to throw everything into a tailspin. Anyways here it is...

My cousin Charlie from Atlanta is getting married in April in Little Rock, and he had his Bachelor Party in Park City, Utah last weekend. Some may ask why Park City, well it was centrally located to just about everyone, easy to get to (flights into SLC are pretty cheap), and Park City has more of a downtown life than most ski resorts that only offer skiing. The 2 weeks before the trip it has been really warm there so we were a little worried about the snow, but the night before I flew in, it dumped 12 inches. They definitely needed it, and while we got a little snow off and on while we were there, the conditions were pretty good. But we had an awesome time. Even if they do only serve 3.2% alcohol beers...

Here's a few pictures from the trip... Click on the picture to get a larger image. The bottom picture was taken quickly during a late night wrestling match, later on the ninja's came out, but you'll have to call for that story.

Hockey...

So I've definitely been lagging with the posts lately. It was a crazy weekend and this week hasn't been much better. I'm still getting used to being back at work. I miss the holiday's already. Waking up to Jadon wanting to play trains is so much better than whatever song pops up on my Ipod and the thought of work in the morning...

Friday I took the day off and went up to Sunrise Ski Resort, it's about a 3.5 hr drive from Phx. Doesn't get as many people as Flag and so the snow is sometimes better. Plus they make the fake stuff which helps the base. Anyways, it was my first day up on the slopes and I must say I was definitely impressed with the snow conditions, found a little bit of powder on the edges and in the trees. Looking forward to that next storm to come through and another sick day... cough, cough.

The problem was, I had a hockey game that night. Home from Sunrise around 7pm and hockey game at 11pm was just enough time to rest/eat/get ready. That and I drank one of those 5hr energy bottles, it's pretty much liquid caffeine I think. Anyways, we won our hockey game! Which doesn't happen very often. Were now 3-13, and have the worst record in the league. But were a new team, and practice makes perfect, right?. Our last game we had a lot more intensity and I think we have improved a lot over the start of the season. We've got a pretty good shot at beating the team above us and moving up 1 spot. At least we won't be the last team in the league. I'm not sure if it was the 5hr energy or what, but I also got a goal! It was right at the end and sealed the win for us which was nice. It's my 2nd of the season and I'm hoping for a few more coming up soon. Our next game is this Fri at 11pm at Polar Ice in Chandler...

More on Cardinals Football and the rest of the weekend to come....
