The Homestead

Mike and I had been planning on a special trip this year to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary.  That is coming in a couple of months.  In the mean time, we needed a little getaway to spend some time together.  We decided to go to Midway, Utah because we had such a fabulous time there last year.  We were also hoping that there was still some fall color in the hills...

A burning bush euonymus at the Homestead...

 

A lovely red maple also at the Homestead...

A view of Deer Creek reservoir and some of its fall foliage from the Heber Valley Railroad.  I really enjoyed our train trip.  Sooooo much more comfortable than riding in the car for me.  We're already discussing the possibilities of another trip...

Gorgeous draft horses readying themselves to take a group of families on a hay ride....

And, no pictures, but we found a wonderful Mexican food restaurant in Midway. The tamales were absolutely delicious, but the best part of the meal, in my opinion, was the pina agua fresca.  Think lemonade made with pineapple puree instead of lemon juice.  So yummy!  Must. Go. Back.
