In September we were blessed to have our lovely friends fly in to spend a week with us in Utah. The Whaleys came from Philedelphia and the Andersons from Nashville. We all knew each other from the 4 years the husbands spent together in medical school. Taylor is now doing residency in radiation oncology and Morgan in radiology. We had an adventure packed week as we traveled to Park City, Bryce Canyon National Park, and Zion National Park.
The Whaleys and Andersons arrived on Saturday. We had a low key first night cooking dinner together and hanging out on our patio talking. The next morning we went to breakfast at the lovely Silver Fork Lodge (great scenic breakfast place at Solitude). We took the scenic route from breakfast over to Park City where we spent the day.
Park City has a weekly "Park Silly Festival" on Sundays during the summer. We walked around the picturesque town then headed to PC Mountain Resort.

No Name Saloon has the best buffalo burgers in town!
PC was breathtaking with its leaves in full color. The reds, oranges, and yellows with the mountain backdrop are some of my favorite scenes.
We had a great time with their summer activities. The alpine slide, zip line, and roller coaster were super fun.
Barton even got to join us for some activities. He was just a couple years behind these guys in med school.

The next morning we packed the cars and hit the road to Southern Utah with the girls in one car and the guys in the other which worked out great to get in a little girl talk.
Lunch on the way at Cowboy's Smokehouse.
We even saw "Duke."
First Stop:
Bryce Canyon National Park
Bryce Canyon National Park
We hiked a few miles through Bryce's beautiful scenery
After taking in Bryce's beauty we drove on in to Zion NP to spend the remainder of our week hiking, canyoneering, eating great food, and soaking in the hot tub.
The pics look fantastic! Thank y'all again for being such great hosts!
