Happy July 4 in Park City, Utah







Celebrations for the 4th of July here in Park City are abundant--always a matter of choosing which activities to join in--there are so many!!July 3 we chose to hit Willow Creek Park to watch the fireworks at Canyons Mountain Resort. We had a big group with lots of toddlers--I love to see them watch the fireworks!! My aunt, Andy Zildjian drove in from Scottsdale by way of Durango and Moab to celebrate with us. Sammy flew up from Phoenix late this evening, and so did Krista Tye--my dear friend who is the cheif operations and buyer for all retail at Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas! Krista's friend, Elizabeth also flew in that night--both girls were in desperate need of a mountain, nature, and cool air fix--to de-stress!
July 4 we hit Park Ave in Park City to see the parade--we saw the tail end as we were too busy talking and relaxing to head off our mountain in time! I rode my FATBOY into town and as you can see--people love to photograph that bike! My buddy on the bike is Mr. Cooper--age 3 who already knows how to turn on the ignition and honk the horn--I will be taking him for a ride as soon as his parents will let him! The other photo is with Cooper and "Motorcycle Sam. "We finished off the day with a party at our place--ribs , local corn, more tasty dishes,and lots of great friends. The grand finale-- Tracy's homemade peach and apple pies.
July 5, Krista and I actually worked sitting up on our deck with our inspiring view and came up with some great things for me to create for the main store at Hard Rock. I have been selling cowboy hats to her at that store since they opened years ago. A fun and new category will be the Do Rags embellished with Swarovski crystals--they will be in the main store as well as Pink Taco! Ride ON!!!!!We finished this day off with a sunset boat cruise at Deer Creek Reservoir, south of Heber City with a view of Mt. Timpenegos--Sammy and Tracy braved the water to wake board!
July 6 we shopped town and hit the Park City Silly Market. This is a fun event with vendors set up on lower Main in Park City. Vendors are selling everything from giant adult teeter totters to lobster rolls from Maine!! Music everywhere, tasting goodies, and lots of clever items to buy for home and apparel. It is every Sunday till Oct. from 10am to 4pm. We also visited my friend, Karen Terzian's gallery. Krista and I couldn't resist new necklaces made by a new designer--L. Jonas---we liked a lot of her pieces--but the ones we bought---she had tied turquoise nuggets to create the "chain" --I bought a hammered PEACE symbol pendant and Krista bought a gorgeous sterling cross. This designer uses her vast collection of items from all over the world to create fabulous necklaces and bracelets--the gallery is on upper Main on the right side heading uphill. I rode the big bike in and parked on the corner from Mary Janes-- had lots of fun talking to the people who couldn't pass by the bike without comments and pictures!!!
We are just catching up from all the festivities and look forward to our next travels. This Thursday,we are heading to Aspen on the bikes by way of Steamboat Springs, Colorado for my daughter, Adrienne's #23 b-day July 12. Make sure to tune in next week for more adventures!!
Diva Tip: Everyone who knows me--knows I am a confirmed tequila drinker--but I have found a new drink I love this summer!!!Finlandia Grapefruit Fusion mixed with pink lemonade!!! Yummy!!
