Enjoying the Last Bits of Fall at Sundance Ski Resort


 Sundance Ski Resort is a nice short drive from where I live, and since my Grandpa has come to live in Utah, we've been visiting more often then we used to.  It's so beautiful!  And I regret not taking more advantage of this quaint location in the past.

The restaurants are expensive, so we (my Mom, Grandpa, Grandma, and I), like to look around the gift shop, and then get the turkey bacon avocado sandwich from the deli, along with yummy cookies and brownies.  Then we just sit back and enjoy the scenery as we eat.  Afterwards a walk around is always in order.

These pictures are from a week ago.  A week before that we came up to Sundance as well, and I really wish I got my phone out and took pictures, because the fall colors were so much more vibrant in dazzling oranges, reds, and yellows.  The trees around Bridal Veil Falls were particularly enchanting.  They lost a bit of colorful oomph last week.  And I'm sure even more this week.





 Look at the fish!


 Right behind the lodge there was a beautifully bright orange/red tree, which refused to show up in the picture.  You also can't see the mountains, so you'll just have to use your imagination :0)

The Vogue Tome

(A phone book sitting next to the September issue of Vogue)

Today I was surprised to find the latest issue of Vogue in the mail, which is one of the many magazines I subscribe to.  What is even more amazing was how thick it is!  It's the 120 year anniversary for the magazine plus the Fall Fashion preview in one.  I put our local phone book right next to this months Vogue to prove how big it is!        

Why is it so thick?  Ads.  You don't even get to the table of contents until page 76.  But I'm strange, I actually like looking at the ads.  Now, if you don't like ads, you'll probably get very annoyed, quick.  Fashion spreads are hidden amongst the advertisements, and sense ads don't have page numbers, it's hard finding the few articles that exist, as they get lost in this tome.   

It was fun seeing some vintage photos, I just wish there were more images to look at.  With the thickness of the magazine I was expecting a little more on the 120 year subject.

I haven't read any of it yet, just thumbed through.  The magazine's got some weight.

Below is the September Vogue issue sitting right next to the August issue.
