Day 2 was Friday and the day of the rehearsal dinner. We woke up (early) that morning and decided to go out and explore a little before we had to come back and get ready for the dinner. We headed to a little shopping center with a TJ Maxx, and then went downtown Park City to eat lunch and explore. Downtown was such a cute little area with lots of touristy shops! It reminded me of downtown Gatlinburg on steroids! We ate at a café, walked around, and bought our souvenir tees! It was freezing this day!! It had rained the night before and we were in the mountains, so we were COLD! Thankfully it warmed up later in the afternoon!
The downtown area is built into the mountain, so it was a workout by the time we got down the street and then walked back up to the top!
After lunch, we still had a little time to kill, so we decided to go check out Olympic Park. It was so neat and only a couple of miles from our hotel! Now that the Olympics are over, it houses a museum with some neat items from the opening ceremonies and things like the Olympic athletes outfits. They also have some activities that you can pay to do, like going down a part of the bob sled course and practicing jump skiing.
This is part of the Bob Sled Course. They said it was insane to go down!
Outside the museum!
I turned into a professional skier while we were there :)
Replicas of the Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals from that year
The park is also now an official Olympic training location. So, we got to see a couple of professionals practicing their jumps off of these slopes and into the pool. It was so neat!
The view was incredible!
That night the rehearsal dinner was held at the house of one of the groom's friends. It was gorgeous! Everything about the views in Utah I LOVED! So pretty! The house was in the mountains and on a golf course. They took all the furniture out of the living room and put tables inside and out for us to eat at. It turned out perfect!
Love this picture! Walker and Clay are taking in the views!
The view from the back porch!
Tables all set up and ready!
This is Courtney and I with Grant and Courtney's cousin, Holly. She is the sister of the groom. Everyone always tells them that they look a like and technically they aren't even blood related!
Gran and Pop!

Courtney and I with Alec!
The rehearsal dinner was beautiful and the food was WAY better than the wedding food (just wait)! Afterwards they had a dessert reception back at the hotel that only Courtney, Gran, Pop, Alec, and I went to and then went and watched the boys swim. Wedding weekend was now in full swing!! They had parties every five minutes from here on out it seemed like!!
