16th March 2005 - Heavy Snow - Day Off

Today began as forecast, with heavy snow. It was expected to dump down all day, so we decided to take the day off and recharge our batteries.

After a long breakfast and lazy start, we headed off to the Discount Retail Outlets, just on the edge of town. The site contains about 50 well known retail outlets which sell last years stock at huge discounts.

John and Fiona purchased trainers, tops and jeans all at less than half price. John also found a pair of Cat shoes he had seen on sale in the UK at over £120 for just £33.

Shauna purchased, tops, cycling gear, shoes and trainers whilst Tim and he boys went mad, buying watches, sun glasses, tops, hoodies, jeans, trainers etc. many of these were birthday presents for the boys.

The weather cleared during the big shop, but on the way back to town the clouds rolled back in and some of the heaviest snow we had seen started to fall.

We found a good restaurant on Main Street and had a lazy lunch, watching the snow whizzing by the windows.

After lunch we walked up Main Street, stopping by a gallery where they had a wonderful collection of bronze frogs created by an English sculpture. John & Fiona could not resist. Shauna bought some very special earrings.

We headed back for home and watched some DVD's before going for an Italian meal at a restaurant called Grappa. what a wonderful place. the best so far in Park City.
