Sitting at the Salt Lake City airport now with my roommate/coworker/friend Liz. We are heading back home after five days in Utah. I had no idea there was such beauty here! The locals told us that most people move to Utah for the winter snow but they stay for the summer air. And we certainly did enjoy the reprieve from the sultry summer days we left behind in N.C.
We were here for a work retreat. Team building,
identifying roles and responsibilities, developing an action plan and company culture were all on the agenda. Working for a start-up requires an extra level of commitment, hard work, and trust but it also allows for freedom, flexibility, and growth. And after several days of hunkering down with the team we were given a few days to explore the Park City area on our own.
We shopped on Main Street, visited with locals, went down a 3,000 foot slide, cliff jumped, swam in a hot spring, and then drove down the street of our future home.
Yup. We decided we were moving here. If only temporarily, we decided it was necessary. Even the laid back vibe of Charlotte couldn't hang with the folks here. As my mom says, "They were so laid back they were in reverse."
