Summer Clerk's Trip to St. Regis at Deer Valley


We had a great time with the summer clerks and mentors from Ray, Quinney, & Nebeker at the St. Regis Resort at Deer Valley.  Thank you to my parents for watching the boys so that we could get away for a night!  The hotel was amazing.  It is listed as one of the top 10 in the country to visit.

After checking in, we went to an outdoor concert at the Deer Valley amphitheater.  We listened to some jazz groups from New Orleans while we ate our fancy, picnic-style dinner of chicken, bacon, and avocado sandwiches, all types of cheeses and fruits, and cake-pops for dessert.  Unfortunately, the weather turned bad, and we headed back a little early.  It turned out to be an exciting night when we headed out to take a look at the pool and the power went out when we were in the hallway!  It was pitch black for a few seconds until the emergency lights turned on.  The power was off for the next 3 hours!  We went out for a snack and were about to give up on watching a show when the power finally came back on at midnight, allowing us to finish the night with an episode of Deadliest Catch :)

Here are some pictures from our stay:

The funicular which takes you up to the resort.

The St. Regis logo was included in some of the most unlikely places, including this vent cover.



Staying at an amazing hotel means an amazingly comfortable bed!


Even the bathroom was awesome, there was a TV screen right in the mirror!

More St. Regis logos on the drawer paper.

This fireplace would be amazing in the winter. 

Calvin even got some down time to enjoy a good book, I would definitely recommend it, The Lazy B, by Sandra Day O'Connor and her brother Alan Day.

On Saturday morning, we enjoyed a great breakfast and then headed home.  Thanks again RQN!
