Surprise Anniversary!

Brent has a way of always surprising me for fun little trips. He does a good job at leading me a different direction. Brent picked me up from work on the Thursday before our anniversary. I got in the car and turned around and there were mountain bikes in the back of the car. I was a little confused! ha Brent told me that we were going up to Park City to go mountain biking and to just get away and enjoy our anniversary. He started driving, and told me he had to go through Salt Lake because it was faster from my work. I completely believed him. Little did I know, he had us scheduled to get a couples massage in Salt Lake. It was amazing!! Afterward, we drove up to Park City and had the best weekend. It was so relaxing. We stayed walking distance from Main Street, which was perfect for all the fun foods that we tried. We love going in the summer because everything is half off. Score!!

Mountain biking was really awesome. We had never done it before, so we bought an all day lift pass, thinking we would do it over and over again. It took us so long to get down the mountain that we only ended up doing it once.

Look how beautiful it was!

Our very favorite restaurant. Thai food on main street!

That night, we still had our all day lift tickets and we didn't want to waste them. We decided to go for a nice scenic ride up and back down the lift. It started to sprinkle but we didn't think anything of it. We got on the lift, not realizing we were in for the ride of our lives!! About half way up the fog was so dense and surrounding us that we could barely see 10 feet in front of us. It was hailing and lightning like crazy. We were laughing and having fun until we realized that the lightning was getting closer and closer and we were up high in a completely metal lift. No bueno! We started to get really nervous. Finally, we could see the hut at the top. It was the longest 30 minutes of my life. At the top, the guy was screaming over the loudness of the hail to run inside the hut. He told us the lightning was right there and it was extremely dangerous. We ran inside, and waited there for the storm to pass. The guy even had to give us a ride to the bottom in his truck! What a memorable/scary/funny experience that we will never forget! :)
