MY WEEK IN PHOTOS: FEBRUARY 20–26, 2017!
Preparing for 5 days on a road trip with some of my best frands—we tackle the 11 hour drive to Salt Lake City through the night, cook, play in the snow, and teach Kiki how to ski.

Enjoy!

Started hiding Xerxes around the house, and Zach has found him and he put him in the blender!!

New spot.

Lazy pasta on President’s Day. Everybody had the day off work, so I spent it making food for the week and doing computer shit.

Go-to pasta at home, reminds me of my mama

ANTM

Chili

Literally took all day to download photos from my iPhone, but hey, so glad I got around to it

Ghoul Waldo

Sweet pups cuddling for warmth

Morning! Checking on my phone progress

Another rainy day

Patriotic today

I made all that chili and forgot it at home! Had to buy lunch at the cafe…the driest “bahn mi” ever

Working on a little clip of a mummy portrait getting scanned

Tired Waldo

Bundled after the gym, yes…left work like this…no shame

Sweet boyo

Packing up for our road trip to Park City

Took Glenn to work with me

Tristy and I soaked up a few hours of sun during lunch

And of course played with Glenn in the office

Taking some work on the road with me

Leaving to a beautiful sunset

Cooked the last bit of pasta and italian sausage and leftover mushroom

And packed up the car (while Sufi anxiously watched through the window)

Ders and Kiki arrive, and we scarf down leftovers

Goodbye pups!

We pack it in our rental (had to rent a 4 wheel drive, we were expecting snow on the 11 hour drive)

I drove the first 3 hours, switched just after 11pm

Driving through the niiiight

First snow encounter!

Sunrise!

Daylight! Just as we pulled into Salt Lake City

So beautiful! It was snowing

Went directly to Eggs in the City to have some skillet potatoes and coffee

Then tried to squeeze in a few Salt Lake things before heading up the mountain

Hand sculpted and wonderful

Giant fake bird house

Got p cold

Went to check out Temple Square

Zach and the space Jesus

Hi from in the Temple

Headed up the mountain, stopped for supplies at the Whole Foods

Snow!!!

We were all exhausted when we got to the house, everybody napped. I did a little freelance work while we watched some casual Bob’s Burgers

Cheeseboard!

Steaks for Chef Kiki to prepare!

I worked on the roasted potatoes

Beautiful steak dinner by Chef Kiki, meat tech bfa

Good morning!

Meats on the skillet

Cheesy eggs and bacon and lil’ sausages

And then we got ready to hit the slopes

Snow pants are dumb

Kiki’s first day on skis and she did so well!

Magical afternoon in the snow

Kiki tackled a long green run within her first like 2.5 hours of learning how to ski hahah

I’m not flexible

Nothing beats this view!

Staring at the view

Making wings tonight

Wings and Codenames with Zach’s cousins

Exploring Main Street

Bookshop kitty

Couldn’t resist the sock store—really wanted the sumo wrestlers but they only had big feet sizes

Sufi? Tweedy?

The sun is out!

High West Distillery

We parked the car at the bottom of a ski run, and then casually rode the furnicular up and down for the view waiting for a Lyft back

Bundled and ready for an ultimate sledding adventure

We made it to the bottom of a big ass run on the sled. WE. DID. IT.

Had snow blasting in my face for approx 20 mins

Cleaned up and went out to eat way too much food

Whoops everything was way bigger than we expected

Twinkly last evening in Park City

Terrible pic, but this is the Anaconda opening credits. Yes. We watched it all

Packed up!

Dersin’ down to Las Vegas

Road snacks

Made it to Nevada

Chubby Cattle! Thanks, Yelp! In Vegas’ Chinatown

Any place that has a big basket of fried garlic up for grabs is for me

HOT POT

After wandering around, checking out a few casinos, we ended the night with a fake black jack woman.

Much love friends.
