Ice Castles & Ice Cream

I'm trying to breakup the winter blues, so decided it might be fun to head to Midway, Utah to eat at an award winning bakery and see some cool ice castles. This is the front of Zermatt Resort. The bakery was just off to the side, so we didn't see the inside of the resort. It looked pretty neat from the outside. Very European.

The kids chose gelato ice cream while Shane and I chose some pastries. I really wasn't impressed. Oh well. It was a very pretty drive up to the resort. We saw a buffalo, zebra, and donkey on our way! Not something you see everyday.

We passed through Heber not seeing one chain restaurant (besides typical fast food places), so Shane chose this place. Note to self. Never, ever go to a place that says "under new management, new menu". Not a good sign. The place was cozy enough, but yuck! The food was not good & it was very expensive for what you got. And, to top it off we saw a bunch of really neat looking places we could have gone on our way to Midway to see the ice castles. Next time.

The highlight of the evening was saved for last. The ice castles. Very neat. The kids couldn't get enough of them. They really enjoyed going through each castle and sludging through the ice/snow on the ground.

About Me

My photo
Shane and I met my senior year of high school in 1996 and were married in 2000. It's just crazy to think we've known each other for more than a decade and still learn new things about each other. We both graduated from the University of Utah. I have a degree in Finance and Shane has a degree in Biology. We are both enjoying jobs in our respective fields. Our favorite thing to do is travel. Before we started a family, we spent two weeks in Europe touring Italy, Germany, Switzerland, and France. We want to see the world and hopefully take our children along with us when they are older. Our children are our life. Alexander "Lex" is our little man at 7 years old. He loves to try lots of new things. He's currently enrolled in soccer, tumbling & boys' hip hop. Isabel (or Bel as Shane likes to call her) is 3 1/2 years old. She is also enrolled in tumbling & dance. All in all, life is wonderful and we couldn't be happier.
