girls getaway to zermatt

since i'm in town visiting home for a week,

we planned a girls getaway with my mom and 

sis-in-laws. so lucky to have these ladies and

i miss them so much living away! (my brothers

have the best taste in wives). we left their kiddos

with the guys and headed up to park city for some

shopping + dinner, then on to midway to stay at

the zermatt resort...AKA mini switzerland. this

swiss alpine hotel is one of my favorites for a 

getaway close to salt lake city, because you really

feel like you're in europe! more on that below.

^^ as we got in the car to leave, my dad came out and

handed us each an envelope and said to open them

in the canyon...we open them to see this:

could there be a cuter dad ......?

^^ fitting room fun! he definitely 

gave us an excuse to shop.

^^ and we gladly fulfilled

my dad's request :)

^^ love that we always end up getting 

matching things when shopping.

like mother like daughter!

^^ after lots of shopping it was time for the best

pizza + spinach salad at maxwell's in park city.

then, onto the beautiful zermatt resort.

i am in love with this place. our room was 

to die for! those wooden ceilings...i mean!

^^ girl talk

after a late night of chatting and 

then sleeping in, we walked all around

the pretty grounds and paid a visit to

zermatt's sister resort, the homestead

to walk up to the crater + hot tub.

^^ we spotted my mom's new home...

furthest one away on the whole map.

i can't believe they are moving in june!! :(

^^ those mountains never get old.

^^ had to get a picture with their 

red jackets in the red sled!

^^ and, some hot tubbing with some more deep chats

truly...if you're like me and dream of

europe in your sleep, come visit the zermatt

for a closer version of it :) these buildings transport

you right to switzerland, the hotel is top notch,

and they even play cute swiss yodeling music on

the grounds. it's the best place and just far enough

from salt lake city to be a fun getaway.

^^ the balcony view we woke up to..

does it get more charming?

like my sister in law mindy said, 

"girls trips are good for the soul."

i agree! i love these ladies and i was

needing this time with them. cheers

to j.crew shopping sprees, late night

dinners, a cozy european hotel, chats

lasting until the middle of the night,

hot tubbing, laughing, and relaxing.

thanks for having us, zermatt!
