On Tuesday the 9th of October we got on a plane for a quick trip to UT and AZ. Once again, our first destination after landing in SLC was j-Dawgs. Mikey + assorted friends (and Jordan) showed up for a yummy lunch. It was great to see Matt, Nick, Garrett, Dillon, Mikey and Bethany:)
I miss my boys!
Dad and his former YM:
Finding Laura at work and having the good fortune to run into Rachel as well:
After a pedicure with Laura we were ready for some Chinese food at Shoots:
The newlyweds:
After dinner we had to hit up Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory:
It's OK, they just ran a marathon. They can afford the extra calories. Which leaves me with no excuse;)
We drove down to Lynndyl after dinner and after being awake for 20 straight hours we collapsed in bed. We had a fun day with Grandma and Grandpa. We went to Delta for lunch and bought stuff for Bruce to make his fab chili. While it sat in the crock pot we went shooting! It was my first time.
It was a lot more fun than I thought it would be!
Grandma's classic wall in her kitchen:
At Slab. Laura and Jordan anxiously awaiting their buffalo chicken and thai chicken pizzas (seriously amazing--if you are ever in Provo you gotta try it, but, eat at j-Dawgs too;):
Just before Laura talked him into buying her a Slab Pizza t-shirt:
Cutie pies:
After our lunch (that went by way too fast), we headed back up to SLC and boarded a plane to Phoenix. We have had the pleasure of staying at the Marriott Desert Ridge Resort and Spa for 4 years in a row:
It is ridiculously nice:
While Bruce went to meetings, I did some fun shopping and had a blast going out to lunch with my friend, Kim and her daugher Jessica along with her cute baby boy. Last night I watched the Washington Nationals blow a 6-0 lead over the Cardinals to go on and lose in the 9th inning in game 5 of the NLDS. They are still an amazing team. They had the best record in baseball and brought us a lot of entertainment this summer. Til next year!
Sister Nielson, it was SO fun to see you yesterday!! My mom and I were saying how glad we were that you got in contact with us. And I seriously think we could have talked for a few more hours ;) Let us know when you come back! And I checked out your daughter-in-law's blog and Dean is just the cutest little thing! You must be getting so excited to see him at Christmas :)
ReplyDeleteWish we could have been there with all the kids, so much fun!
ReplyDeleteGreat post Linda. We loved seeing you and catching up. Little did we know that we would be back in Virginia the next week and see you again and so many great friends! Thanks for always getting in touch when you are out our way. I enjoy it so much.
ReplyDeleteLong time no post, Linda! Just checking up on you...I am a blogger slacker myself. Hope all is well!
