We’ve been in Utah at my parents new home all week. They moved from New York to Tokyo 3 years ago, and then to a small mountain town near Park City, Utah this past fall. It’s been our first summer visit and it’s heavenly. Hikes, sunsets, swimming, boating, tennis, cousins, fireworks in the parking lot, and copious amounts of ice cream (image above from my instagram). Hope you’re up to something summery as well this week! Have a great one, here are some links to explore:
