Don't you hate it when people think they are so cool and drop famous people's names in their blogs etc.? Well anyway...what was I saying..oh ya.. last Saturday night, our ward had a fireside at one of "Mitt's" homes in Park City. Of course I had to have the grand tour! Here is the garage area fully stocked with cars, snow shoes, boots, etc. so they can just be ready to play when they get a chance to come to Utah!
Their family members are in our ward and arranged the details. Here is Mitt's niece, Karyn giving us the tour. What an awesome coffee table!
Downstairs was the hot tub and work out room. The pictures never do it justice!
The view was spectacular! Steve was such a good sport to go even though he didn't feel well!
The speaker was Michael Wilcox (who is also a popular speaker at Education week etc). He stood in this corner and there were almost 100 people listening from the couches and various chairs/sitting areas.
The front door!
It is hard to capture the complete Park-city-esque feel in the pictures but it was so fun to see.
Hopefully I'm not giving out too much private info, but I figure I was a small contributor (auto monthly withdrawal) to the campaign--so it's not like I am a total outsider:)! I love how they have their home fully stocked with their clothes and make-up so they can just fly in when it is convenient and not have to pack etc.
More pics!
One of the many hallways leading to lots of bedrooms (each with its own bathroom attached) etc. I loved the built-in floor lighting! Many cool stories learned; one of which was that a garage was left open by a worker and a mountain lion had pulled a deer in the house to eat in one of the hallways. (Carpet had to be bleached). I should have taken a picture of the wall of Christmas cards received. I don't know about you-but I didn't receive my card from Al Gore's family, so it was fun to see Christmas cards taken up a notch! We had a yummy lasagna dinner up there. It was such a fun night for our ward! Thanks Mitt & family!

That story of the mountain lion is unreal!
It looks like you guys had a lot of fun!
Last week a friend of mine sent some of these pictures of Mitt's Place....FABULOUS!!!!
What a place.....it is difficult to realize people really live in these multi-million dollar places. I think it said Mitt's would sell for ten million!!!!
OUCH!!!!!
Looks just like our winter getaway home -just kidding. What a beautiful home.
It's all about who you know. Sounds like such a fun place to see.
What a cool house! You guys are so well connected. I would have loved to be on the tour and see how they put everything together. That front door is crazy cool.
It is actually on the market for about 5.5 million in this crazy economy! (Like you said Mom--worth 10 million a few years ago). We thought about getting 52 families from our ward to go in on it-all taking it for one week a year-but just the heated driveway bill would kill us all:)
Good you took some pics! It was really fun touring the house, wasn't it? I like the picture of her playing with the coffee table;-) Now, where is the pic of you sitting in the nice chair? :)
So much fun! I linked to you on my blog. It was a grea tnight wasn't it?
