Park City Vacation

For the past 8 days we have been away on vacation.  Our first vacation, not visiting family, with our family of five.  We have used our timeshare smartly (ie, trading our weeks for "off season" times), and had a "use or lose" week this year.  Patrick & I debated several possible destinations, but settled on Park City.  It's far enough away that neither of us would be tempted to go into work, or to get household projects/chores/errands done; yet, it's close enough that traveling with 3 toddlers for a week seemed feasible.

While Park City isn't glamorous, in that it doesn't have attractions specifically for children, it was a great trip.  We had something planned for each day, but really were rather loose with our routine.  We spent more consecutive time together than we ever have (and will continue this weekend...).  And, more time together without any family/friends as well (although, we did enjoy time with Patrick's mom & Ann, and my parents).

Harvick & Jarrett will not remember this trip long-term.  Ryder may remember a highlight or two.  But, we got to spend time together, and for that reason, it was a perfect (and much needed) vacation for us. 

Although I needed no confirmation that this trip was good for all of us, Ryder's bedtime prayer tonight confirmed it for me.  "...and, God, "fank" (thank) you for our vacation to Park City.  I "willy" (really) liked spending time "wif" (with) all of my "famiwee" (family)...".
