Sunday at Sundance

05/28/15 | The Americas, Travel, United States, Utah, West Coast

Sundance Mountain Resort Entry Kelly

Sunday I had one of the best brunches ever at the Sundance Mountain Resort. My friends live only 20 minutes from the beautiful resort, yes, that same Sundance that has the movie festival. They only go to brunch there for special events, like Mother’s Day, but my visit was considered special and I am so glad it was!  The all inclusive brunch had too many delicious items to count but my favorites had to be the cedar wood salmon, butterscotch butter, and double chocolate tartelettes.

After brunch we went for a long stroll around the property and I could not stop taking pictures, it was all so beautiful! And I also found it interesting that despite hosting a major film festival every year, most of the films are shown in the nearby town of Park City because there is only one screening room at the Sundance Mountain Resort, apply named after Robert Redford.

I took over 100 family photos of my friend, her husband, and their two adorable children and I will not burden you all with them here but here are three of my favorites.

Something I did not expect, when there is no snow the resort is very popular with mountain bikers, they ride the chairlift up with the bikes and then head down!

 On the way back from Sundance we drove by the Bridal Veil Falls in Provo, Utah which is even as prettier in the Spring as it is covered in ice!

After brunch the boys went golfing and the girls headed to the outlet malls.  Along with my usual favorites; J. Crew, Banana Republic, Polo Ralph Lauren, Loft, and Nike, they had a few stores I had not heard of including Wilson’s Leather where I picked up two amazing jackets.

And I know you saw her yesterday but I have to share a bit more, Lily is just the cutest and the best shopping buddy. And if you did not see yesterday’s post, she really does love chewing on my bracelets.

Once we shopped til we dropped (or a 20-pound baby became really heavy) we had a wonderful home cooked dinner and went wild crazy on a Sunday night in Utah…. by going to the movies and seeing Pitch Perfect 2.

My second day in Utah was as memorable as the first!

Stay tuned for my recap of Park City tomorrow!

    That striped dress is awesome! I love the colour and the neckline. And, those chocolate tartlets look AMAZING.
