New Toy and New Location

I'm so excited!  I got a new toy today.  My Wacom Bamboo Splash!  I was recently diagnosed with 'tennis elbow.'  I knew it was caused, in large part, to the time I spend on the computer editing photos.  The pain has gotten so bad I decided to break down and get the Bamboo tablet.  I had read that it could help with my problem.  Altho' I 've only had it a day, I already love it.  Besides the relief I can already feel on my arm, it's so much more accurate.  I believe my editing will go a bit faster now, which will in turn, aid in the quicker healing of my arm.  It's a win-win!  Yay!

This is my first edit with my tablet.  My beautiful niece, always at the ready to model for me when I need to test out a new location or technique.  

Probably took me longer than usual to edit, but I can tell I will only get quicker the more I use it.  

1st Annual Park City Stay {Back to School}

My daughter and I decided to start a new tradition.  Back-to-school shopping at the Park City outlets!  We thought we'd also make it a girls' night (+ one cute little boy) sleepover.  Of course, we invited Connie along. 

All of this for our Miss Marley, who is starting 1st grade this year!  I can't believe it!  She's growing up so fast...  :(

 Before heading to the outlets, we decided to go ride the Alpine Slide.  I thought I was going to ride myself so I didn't bring my camera along.  Then we decided maybe AJ wasn't quite ready for the chair lift ride up to the slide.  So he and I stayed behind.  

Not to worry, he got to enjoy some rides that were made especially for him.

After shopping we had some dinner at the hotel.

The next day, after a quick stop at the outlets again, we took a stroll along Main Street.  

Then stopped for some iced coffee, ice cream & smoothies along the way.  Delish!!  :)

Have never had, nor wanted, an iced coffee...  I like my coffee warm, even in the summertime.  Not sure why I've never given it a shot.

Needless to say I was pleasantly surprised!

I loved it!

I Love Park City! :)

To cap off the trip we went back to Mel's and had a movie night. 

What a great couple of days!

'Till next time...
