So Long Sweet Summer...

This summer has flown by! Seriously, I am still shocked that we are already a week into school. I have been the world's worst blogger and this is my attempt to redeem myself. I apologize for how long this is, but there is so much to catch up on. So here's a glimpse of the rest of our summer:

The majority of my summer consisted of this:

 This is Marriott's Mountainside Resort, where I interned for the last 4 months. I worked at the front desk with many fabulous people and learned so much!

We also did way fun things like hike:

 We had cardboard boat races in the pool:

Went on bike rides around Park City:

And yes, even this!

We went on a day rafting trip (float) down the Weber River. It was so fun and they even let me row! It made me miss Moab...

We even found a Stand Up Paddleboard and it was super fun!

I missed it so much, that I made us go down when I got the next 2 days off. David had never been to Moab and I wanted to show him how amazing it is. I decided that I wanted to drive down that day, so we spontaneously packed our bags by night and bought a tent on our way out of town (on sale for $29.99- amazing!) Here is David so excited with our new tent:

 

We hiked Delicate Arch, a must in Moab:

That's us underneath!

He had a blast on the slickrock:

The two of us at Double Arch, my favorite in all of Arches National Park:

David and I climbed up Indian Ladder, which is a crack in the rock with old logs the whole way up. It always freaks me out, but it was fun to climb up. Here is my cute husband:

Our last stop of the day was at Left Hand. We hiked up to this water hole where you can cliff jump into the water.  My friend Mickell, who I worked with in Moab last summer came with us, but I forgot to get a picture with her (Sorry Mickell!) 

Here is David doing a flip into the water:

We had such a great time in Moab, although it was super quick and less than 24-hours! We will definitely be back so I can show David the river!

Next stop: Vegas! 

I finished up my internship at Park City and went down to spend a week with David in Las Vegas. He worked as a Japanese translator for a company called Miki Prune. It was a great opportunity and we loved the excuse to hang out in the summer heat. We stayed with my Aunt Lisa and Uncle Rich, who were so kind to open up their beautiful home to us and we had a blast with them! 

Here we are at Caesar's Palace:

We went to dinner at Max Brenner, which has amazing macaroni and cheese! (For those of you who don't know me...this is one of my favorite meals!) Apparently they are famous for their chocolate desserts, but we were too full to order any. 

We went out another night for dessert at Serendipity (based off the one in New York) and had this healthy, deep-friend oreo sundae. It was delicious! 

Venetian! David thinks this means we don't have to travel to Italy anymore...haha

Enjoying a night on the strip:

David worked at Aria, which is a beautiful hotel on the strip. I loved it because he had tons of room keys that I could use to get into the pool! Needless to say, I spent many afternoons by this:

 And we finally got a little sun!

I told you it would be long! Hope you enjoyed this tiny glimpse of our summer. We had a great one and are already excited for plans next summer! Have a great school year everyone!
