Day 13 – July 11, 2016
Moab, Ut – Park City, UT
247 miles – four hours.
Temperature in Park City – 67!
We had a slow morning due to the fact I had some work to do
and some bills to pay. I kind of lost track of time, which was unfortunate for
the day’s plans. We drove north from Moab to Park City and much of the drive
was through very barren countryside. Lots of cars – but not buildings and no
trees. About 45 minutes outside of Park City things started to turn green, and
I relaxed a little.
Park City is adorable, as I knew it would be. I love these cute
little ski villages we’ve been visiting – and I don’t ski. Go figure! Because
of our late arrival, we only had a few ours to spend at the Utah Olympic Center.
Hunter decided to hang back at the hotel with Barrett. He said he had to run.
He’s been very diligent about sticking to his training schedule. I’m proud of
him.
The Olympic Center is cool, especially for the kids. The Salt
Lake 2002 Olympics where very spread out, with venues in Salt Lake and Park
City and I’m sure other places, as well. The center in Park City is where the
ski jumping, luge, and other skiing events took place. Their museum wasn’t as good
at the one in Lake Placid. I personally preferred our visit to Lake Placid a
few years ago and loved how we could walk down the street in Lake Placid and
see where practically every event was held. I know the Olympic Center in New
York offers rides for the kids, but we didn’t visit them. I remember offering
to take the kids up on the ski lift and they were all too scared. Times have changed!
Audrey did the freestyle zip line, and Cammy did the adventure course – which
ended with him zip lining. I didn’t think he’d do it, I really didn’t, but he
did. This was huge for him! He told me that he was scared before they let him
go, and his stomach felt funny, but midway through his flight he said he was
fine. It was cool.
Bleak....
Getting better the closer we got to Park City...
Aud on her way up.
Off she goes...
He did it!
