AND NOW IT IS TIME FOR R & R

     With most of the reunions, family & friend visiting, weddings, research trips, and genealogy conferences behind us at last it was time to let the rest and relaxation begin.   We got to do that for three days at lovely Zermatt Resort in Midway, Utah.

Zermatt is built in a Swiss theme

No decorating expense spared here!

The indoor pool (which allows you to swim on to the outside pool there at the left).  Had it all to myself at 6 a.m. for exercising.   Victor got a massage and used the sauna.

Great bed - but WAY too many cute pillows and a rather complicated duvet/sheet/cover system.  Must drive the housekeeping staff crazy to make these up each day!

The outdoor chess board.  They also have a carousel, a pretty walking path, miniature golf.  Problem is they charge you extra for the use of most everything.   We got to be there because I bid on my stay through Sky Auction and actually won.  So we paid only a third of what the nightly fee normally is.

The Midway/Heber/Park City Valley was gorgeous from summer rains.  This photo is taken on Monument Hill looking toward Deer Creek Reservoir.  Just to the right (not in the picture) is the back of Timpanogos mountain.

It was a really nice way to begin closing down a past-paced summer.  We had a lot of nice naps and ate good (very over-priced) food.
