Mini Vacay in Park City

Our friend (and Clay's boss) hooked us up with a couple of nights at the Marriott Mountainside in Park City. We were so excited to take Ellie on a little trip just for her before baby boy comes next month. It was perfect. The only thing we would've done differently was stay longer.

During our stay, we enjoyed dinner at Good Thymes and Squatter's -- both were delicious.

All ready for our first time at the pool.

We spent a lot of time at the pool -- Ellie's favorite part of the trip.

We love that Ellie calls them "smarshmallows."

The resort had a lot of fun activities for kids and families, including this story time with cookies and milk, Bingo and chocolate tasting:

Ellie would sniff the chocolate first, like a true chocolate connoisseur, then say, "Mmmmm."

 We hit up the carousel at the Mountain Resort. It was faster than your usual carousel, so that was fun.

 Ellie also rode the Space Train, which the operator said is super old and appeared in "The Sandlot."

 Our friend Cherin came up to play for a few hours, and Ellie loved seeing her little friends Aspen and Ridge.

Ellie got all her swimming gear together then came up to us and said, "I've got everything!"

 Our trip wouldn't have been complete without ice cream, an oreo caramel apple and a truffle from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory.

 Ellie has been such a daddy's girl lately. She cannot get enough of him. It's fun to watch. Maybe she is clinging on to him knowing my attention will be a little divided pretty soon.
