Sundance Resort

This weekend Dick, Rachel, Dallin and I got a little taste of opulence, enjoying employment perks with a staycation at Sundance Mountain Resort. Each couple had their own spacious cabin (subdivided into two or three units) perched to overlook the snowy forests below. As an extra bonus, our fridges were supplied with charcuterie and gourmet pastries. Paths from the cabins to the shops below tunneled through snow piled higher than our heads, but it was surprisingly pleasant weather as we walked around the little ski town. Dallin taught me some rules of chess, since I'd never played before, and the four of us competed in a round of Settlers of Catan before heading to the Foundry Grill for an elegant dinner.  All I'd had was a share of the appetizers and a quarter of my dinner before my belly was fit to burst -- this baby takes up so much room! Later that evening we climbed over a literal hill of packed snow to access the hot tub, warm enough to relax in the freezing weather but cool enough to be safe for the babe! We chatted quietly and, after we were done, hoped that the view of our pale legs in the window wouldn't scare any downstairs guests in the bathroom as we climbed back over the hill of snow to reach the front door. It was a cold walk back to our own cabin, so Dallin lit the fireplace and we turned on the TV to snuggle for just a bit before bed.  Then in the morning, after sleeping in, we made breakfast together and packed up to go.  It was a short but fun and relaxing trip I would love to do again before Rachel and Dick leave for Alaska this summer!
