Park City! I came up with some San Diego friends to ski for President's Day Weekend. While waiting for Andy to fly in, Katie, Andrew, and I toured the Capitol building which I had never done before. It was in session so we even got to see some bills/laws/?? pass. :)
Sono andata a San Diego con dei amici per sciare per un weekend a febbraio. In tanto che aspettavo che arrivasse Andy, sono andata a fare un giro per vedere la capitale.
We went skiing at The Canyons!
Siamo andati a sciare ai Canyons.
Something that I have been wanting to do while in Utah has been to go and visit the Midway Ice Castles. I was able to book tickets and we headed up one night. Despite the freezing temperatures, it was so much fun. We even ran into Hannah, Kyle, and Cora!
Sono anni che voglio andare a vedere i castelli di ghiaccio che ci sono. Sono riuscita a prendere biglietti e una sera siamo andati su con Simone. Anche se c'era MOLTO freddo, era molto bello e divertente.
Winter Break started off with a bluebird ski day at Brighton with my dad and brother. It was the perfect kickoff to my first week of Winter Break!
Le mie vacanze hanno cominciato con una giornata a sciare con Simone e mio papa'. Era una giornata perfetta e una maniera molto bella per cominciare le vacanze.

We didn't have a white Christmas, but it snowed Christmas night, so it almost counts! Woke up to some snow and cloudy skies.
Non c'era un bianco natale, pero' ha nevicato la sera di natale. Ci siamo svegliati con la neve e un tempo da temporale.
For President's Day, I headed up to Park City with some friends from San Diego. We hit perfect weather as it had just snowed the day before and then was sunny and blue skies the entire time. It started to dump snow as we left that Monday. We had so much fun experiencing new things in Park City that I hadn't done yet.
Per un weekend lungo, sono andata a Park City con dei miei amici di San Diego. Il tempo era perfetto perche' era appena nevicato, allora quando c'eravamo noi c'era un bel sole e cielo blu. Poi, ha ricominciato a nevicare il giorno in cui siamo partiti. Abbiamo fatto tante cose nuove a Park City che non avevo mai fatto io.
We went skiing at Brighton on our first day and it was perfect! There weren't too many people, so we got quite a few runs in.
Il primo giorno, siamo andati a sciare a Brighton. La giornata era perfetta, e non c'era molta gente allora ci siamo divertiti molto.
Saturday, we headed to Gorgoza Park - a tubing place in Jeremy Ranch (Park City). I have driven past this so many times, but never actually gone tubing. It was amazing. Such a fun time sliding down the hill. Definitely worth it.
Sabato, siamo andati a Gorgoza Park - un posto dove si va a slittare a Park City. Sono anni che ci passo, pero' non mi ero mai fermata. Ci siamo divertiti un sacco! Probabilmente piu' che non a sciare!
We then headed into Park City and went to High West Distillery (a little overrated and quite crowded) and then to the No Name Saloon. It was such a fun trip!
Poi siamo andati a Park City dove siamo andati a High West (c'era molta gente, e non era granche') e poi in un'altro bar. Era proprio una bella vacanza!
This song always brings back great memories of being a kid in Atlanta when we would perform this song with Signing Choir.
Questa canzone mi fa pensare a quando abitavamo ad Atlanta dove facevo parte del Signing Choir.
Ahh Christmas Break, how I wish you still were here. I had a wonderful break and did so much, and yet so little. I spent about two weeks in Salt Lake and then my parents and I dove back to San Diego and they spent a week in San Diego.
Ahh, le vacanze di Natale, quanto mi mancano! Quest'anno, ho passato due settimane a Salt Lake e poi, con i miei, siamo venuti a San Diego e loro sono stati qua circa un settimana.
The evening I flew in, there was this STUNNING sunset. I forced my brother to stop so we could take pictures.
La sera che sono arrivata, c'era un tramonto proprio bello. Simone e' stato cosi' gentile, e si e' fermato cosi potevo fare delle foto.
This is my trying to play around with settings on my camera
Always love seeing high school friends over Christmas!
YAY!
Christmas Eve Pics
Notice no snow outside
Guardate che fuori non c'e' neve
But we woke up with a fresh dumping of snow on Christmas Day. Perfect.
Pero' ci siamo svegliati con una bella dose di neve il giorno di Natale. Perfetto.
Pandoro!
My mom and I were shopping downtown and we happened across the Macy's Candy Window display and it was so pretty. Everything is made out of candy.
In tanto che io e la mamma eravamo fuori a fare dei giri, abbiamo visto le vetrine di Macy's. Tutto quello che c'era e' fatto di caramelle. Era proprio bello da vedere.
We then headed to see the lights in Temple Square. It's been a few years since I've been, but it seemed as though there were fewer lights. Regardless, the lights that were there are always pretty.
Poi siamo andate a vedere le luci che sono al tempio. E' un po' che non ci vado, pero' mi sembrava che ci fossero meno luci. Comunque, le luci che c'erano erano molto belle.
It'd been at least a few years since I'd seen Kelly - so great to see her!
One night we went to Sicilia Mia for dinner. They are most known for their carbonara that they make in a cheese form. It was SO good (super rich) but delicious!
Una sera siamo andati da Sicilia Mia a cena. Loro sono famosi per la carbonara che fanno nella forma di formaggio. Era buonissima!
I've known Leslie forever! Always love seeing her!
Liz!
There was a terrible inversion so while it didn't snow, it frosted.
For New Year's, I headed up to Park City. There was a terrible inversion in SLC where the air is bad and the sky is gray. However, in Park City, the sun was shining and there were blue skies.
Per il primo dell'anno, sono andata a Park City. A Salt Lake, l'aria non era buona ed era tutto girgio. Pero' a Park City, c'era il sole e cielo blu'!
Poor kid, I forced him to take a million pictures with me.
You could say that we started 2017 off on the right foot.
So fun to spend New Year's with this crew!
Simone and I went skiing on January 2. While I am opposed to skiing on non-bluebird days, I made an exception. It was so pretty and the snow was perfect! I loved skiing in powder and with my brother.
Io e Simone siamo andati a sciare il 2 di gennaio. A me non piace sciare se non c'e' il sole, pero' ci sono andata. Devo dire che mi sono divertita molto. La neve era perfetta.
After Salt Lake, my parents and I stayed one night in Las Vegas. My dad booked us a room at the Vdara which was super nice. We had an amazing view of the strip and the Bellagio fountains.
Siamo andati in macchina a Las Vegas per una sera. Avevamo una stanza con vista sulla strip e le fontane. Non male.
As we were leaving, I realized that in all my visits to Vegas, I never stopped at the sign. We detoured (not really) and stopped. There was a photographer who was so great and took some fun pictures. Jumping pictures were a big hit this time around.
In tanto che stavamo per partire, mi sono accorta che non avevo mai fato una foto con il cartello di Las Vegas. Allora, ci siamo passati. C'era uno che stava facendo tante foto - era anche bravo!
Back in San Diego, we hung out and laid low. We did make it out to the beach where I shared with my parents the joy of Boomerang.
A San Diego, non abbiamo fatto molto. Pero' siamo andati al mare dove ho fatto scoprire l'app, Boomerang, a i miei.
