What happens on the pink bus stays on the pink bus...

...except for hangovers, that crap will stay with you!

On Saturday we celebrated my friend Sarah's bachelorette party by renting a huge pink bus and taking it to the Temecula wineries. We had such a blast, it was insane, there were 16 of us total and it was nutso! Can you believe, I actually didn't have my camera with me so I only took a few shots with my (new!) iPhone. Plus, let's be honest, there's only so many pics of the shenanigans you want to see if you weren't there. I won't subject you to too much painful craziness.

First, the bus: See? It's freakin' pink! It came with it's own dancer pole which Sarah's fiance helped warm up when he carried all the booze and snacks onboard for us. We started out so lovely...

And we had a great time at the first winery.

Champagne is funny and apparently causes you to see blurry things:At the 2nd winery, we sat outside and soaked up the glorious sun and live musicians - it was heavenly. Oh, and there was more wine.



By the end I was beginning to feel like Patsy from Ab Fab and Carol looked how I felt: After the 3rd winery, there was dancing, more shenanigans and the spray cheese and triscuits got busted out and all was right with the world. No more peeking for you except for this gem! Not as if it were a likely possibility, but I can no longer run for president.

Park City day 3 - not really Park City

Our last day we only had a few hours before leaving town so we went to check out a few of SLC's sights. First we saw the capital building, some buffaloes, and then took a quick walk through the Mormon temple area.

After that we went out to the actual Salt Lake - it was amazing! We went to the island in the middle to check it out.

There are wild Bison on the island which was really cool!




And some fake ones too...
What a fun trip!!!

Park City day 2 - the actual pics

MAN, we loved Deer Valley! It was so gorgeous and huge there. Craziness, they don't allow snowboarders (which, nothing against my single-boarded buddies) which actually seemed to cut down on the crowds. It was a foofy place, too - all the amenities were top notch.

Here's us on our favorite run, the top was a blue called Lost Boulder, the bottom was a bump run that Rob rocked...I was so proud of my guy.

This was the back part of the mountain...the views were insane!



At the end of the day, we rode the Funicular up to the gorgeous St Regis resort:


We got some killer service at the bar and enjoyed their famous bloody marys, made with wasabi and nitrous: We tried braving the outside bar for some champagne (our waiter even sabered off the top!) but didn't make it very long, even standing directly under the heater didn't warm me enough...it was freakin' chilly!




And then, as if the St Regis weren't amazing enough, we found their complimentary hot chocolate bar. Did I mention it was GODIVA hot chocolate with amazing toppings??? Clearly I was stoked.


After getting officially soused (by the way, I'd forgotten that elevation + cocktails = I can't feel my face), Rob schlepped my butt back to Park City and we walked off the booze. Here I try on a faux fur hat that clearly I need:
and made friends with a bear on a bench...

And we finished off the night with an amazing dinner of French Onion Soup and Lobster Mac N Cheese right next to a fireplace...perfection!!!

Park City day 2 - the hijacked pics

Holy cow, we LOVE Deer Valley! We skied there on day 2 of our Park City trip and it was amazing! I'll post our pics in a moment, but first I thought I'd share the professional pics we took midway through the day when we came across one of their photographers - she was such a sport and we had so much fun with her. We officially bought one of her pics, but 36 bucks later we decided to just copy the rest off the website even if they aren't the best quality, who cares! Enjoy!!!


Apparently I ruined the first jumpy pic because I jumped after we were supposed to so I'm on my way up as Rob's on his way down...hey, I never said I had rhythm. Or a vertical leap.
After the first jump kinda jacked my back, I faked this one...you think anyone would notice this tall girl's leg still on the ground? haha! :)



This pose made us crack up:






This is a scanned copy of our official photo...it was so hard to choose but ultimately this was our fave:
