Thanksgiving In Park City: Day 5/Pictures

Today was our last day in Utah and it was spent driving. We planned to leave around 7am to try to get back around 12:30pm and ride Steamboat for a couple hours, but once again, sleep got the best of us. We got up around 9:30am, had some quick breakfast, said goodbye and thank you to my aunt and uncle for the awesome time and letting us stay at their place.

So we hit the road around 10, stopping briefly for gas and once so Bacon could get energy drinks, but besides that, the trip back was less eventful since we were ready to get back. We rolled into The Boat around 3pm, unpacked all out stuff, and chilled until dinner. So now we have to get the room back in order, clean out Tyler's car, fill it up with gas, and get it back to him.

The trip was a great time and I was happy to be able to spend it with friends and family. It's always fun snowboarding in Utah too, so hopefully I'll get to do that again sooner than later. And as I promised, once we got back I'd throw some pictures up so here is a glimpse of the trip visually.

Rolling into Utah:
The first ridiculous dinosaur statue in Dinosaur, UT:
Me trying to make it look like the dinosaur was dropping me:Outside Skeeter's Cafe, where the dinosaur was with my No Shave November neard looking particularly awful:
The giant pink Vernal dinosaur, Vernal, UT:Me with the pink dino:
Ridiculous Indian statue at some trading post in Vernal:
A couple pictures of an awesome lake we passed between Vernal and Park City:
The crazy packed parking lot at the outlet malls at midnight on black Friday:
So now we are back in colorful Colorado and trying to get some homework done, since the end of the semester is approaching fast. Hopefully everyone had an awesome Thanksgiving as well. Peace.

Jacob,

Thanks so much for your wonderful descriptions of your 5 day trip to Park City (even if I don't quite get the meaning of all the snowboarding expressions). Both Grandpa and I have enjoyed reading these chronicles so much and look forward to 12/11 and your time back in good old Minnesota.
You are quite the writer, traveler and shopper!
Love and safe travels.
