Park City

Several years ago we purchased a time share at the Park City Marriott Mountainside resort.  It probably was kind of an impulse purchase spurred on by the promise of free points and free beach towels.  At the time we owned  a share at the Kauai Marriott and loved the property, and the idea of traveling the world with Marriott.  We spent the points to go to London, which was awesome. 

Over the years we have watched as the owner fees have doubled going from about $475.00 a year to now being well over $1000.00, ouch.  We have hung onto the property with the thought that we can trade it for time at other resorts (once we traded it for a week in West Palm Beach, Fl.) but usually we come to Park City.  It is close to home but usually sits empty most of the week,  it is a quick getaway, and it means the family can come up and use if for part of the week.
 
Tomorrow is an end of term day, and teachers are paid to attend 4 hours of school and work on grades etc. .  I worked late and finished my grade so I would be able to come here instead,  and have kind of a mini retreat.  I brought school work and reading that I never seem to get to because of all the distractions at home.  Brittani and the girls will join me later tonight, Scott will put in a days work tomorrow and then come up tomorrow night til Sunday, but for right now I can just kick back, relax and enjoy the beauty of Park City and the quiet of having time to myself, something I rarely have.
