Snowbasin & Lakeside Resort
Our vacation really started when we got to Lakeside Resort in Ogden Valley! What a beautiful place! Everywhere you look there's mountains! Our condo had a view of the lake and Snowbasin. We even had a private hot tub on the deck! We definitely made good use of the hot tub, let me tell you! It was nice to just sit back and relax, take nature in and enjoy the scenery. During the day Dan would go to Snowbasin to snowboard while Hayden and I headed out to visit with friends. Then we would meet up again in the afternoon, hang out and relax at the condo then go out to dinner (or barbque on the grill). After Hayden would go to bed, we'd step out to the hot tub and just soak for as long as we possibly could!
Hayden loved this bear and would constantly go and hug it!
R-E-L-A-X-A-T-I-O-N!!! It was great visiting everyone, but in the end, we did want to have a "vacation" so staying at the resort was just the ticket!
Due to the tundra that hit the east coast, including the Philadelphia area, our flight back to Philly was cancelled, giving us an additional, totally unexpected, day in Utah. The people at Lakeside were so great in accommodating us for another night (at a discounted rate too)! Since we had an extra day that we weren't counting on, we decided to spend the day as a family and head up to Snowbasin together. We took the gondola up to the top of the mountain and had lunch together in the ski lodge overlooking Ogden Valley. What a site! Unforunately it was a little cloudy that day, so some of the pictures don't exactly depict what we saw up there, but you'll get the basic jist!
Our flight back to Philadelphia had a layover in Las Vegas. Unfortunately we didn't get to leave the airport, but Hayden got to sit at a slot machine before we got yelled at for allowing a child to be in the "gaming area"!
What an awesome vacation! Can we come next time? I am so jealous of that hot tub. I think it's time we take a vacation. I am glad you guys had so much fun.
