We just got back from Utah and we had such a good time! We have been trying to take a trip there for awhile and it finally worked out for us! Seth was able to take a day off which gave us 6 days to make the trip happen! Way better than 4, especially since driving there and back pretty much wipes out 2 days! It was the perfect amount of time and we were able to see friends and family - they all live within 20 minutes of each other up there!! We stayed with my friend Brooke(who I grew up with) and her family, it was nice to have a central location to stay and not have to pack and unpack a ton! Thanks Greg and Brooke! They were so wonderful to us and we just fell in love with their little boys Luke and Nathan! We are so ready for our little boy now!!! We did some sightseeing at Thanksgiving Point, really cool place for family! Seth LOVED the Farm, a huge petting zoo there! The animals were so friendly and loved being pet and fed as much as Seth loved doing it! Luke and Seth had a great time there together! We ate at the ever popular Cafe Rio and now I see while everyone raves about it, so good! We went for a beautiful drive up to American Fork Canyon it had some snow up there and was so pretty! We had a fun dinner with my other childhood friend Kori and her family that night, it was nice to be all together with our families - we are so grown up now! :) We even watched the election results, a very adult thing to do! Gone are the days of off roading and toilet papering houses! That evening it started snowing really good, we were so excited to experience it and were amazed how fluffy it was! The next day we woke up and got the Prop 8 election results, it was too close the night before to know anything solid - we were so happy it passed, great way to start our spiritual day! We went to Salt Lake City to Temple Square and had such a great day there! We took a tour, checked out the Tabernacle, the Conference Center and Museums then went to the Temple for a live session, so awesome! Then we checked out the Joseph Smith Building and had dinner at The Roof there, so pretty and YUMMY!!!!! Our last full day there was Thursday and we went to Kori's home to hang out some more, the kids loved it of course and we enjoyed the gab time! Brooke then took us on a drive to Park City, such a beautiful drive! We hit the Outlet there and got some good deals! Then later that evening we got together with my cousins and met my cousin Lynsey and her hubby Chris' baby Kaia for the first time, she is beautiful!!! My cousin Gabe and his wife Jessica's little girl Malina is 1 now, she is such a little doll!! And Nick and his wife Mandi are due with their first(a boy too) in 6 weeks, it was fun comparing baby bumps!! So exciting started the whole next generation of family! It was great to be able to get together with them before we left! We had a great time and by the time we left to drive home the snow was all pretty much melted, couldn't have gone any better! A very successful trip, can't wait to go again!
