Sorely Needed Mini-Break

Ash and I had a GREAT, relaxing day off together on Friday. We realized it was long overdue when the night before we almost couldn't sleep we were so excited and after it was all over, we actually felt rejuvenated and productive at home.
So, because we're horrible at planning things like this, we didn't get to play disc golf at the ski resort as planned, but we found a lot of other fun things to do.
Started off with breakfast at Blue Plate Diner downtown. Several people from Kansas have told us to eat here since it was featured on the food network this summer. It was greasy, greasy, good, that's for sure!

Then we headed to Park City to tool around...got some coffee, walked around, visited the Olympic Park. Good, relaxing times. Oh, and Ash made a new friend:
He's such a good sport sometimes.

We then took a drive through the mountains, which were absolutely beautiful with the fall colors starting to pop up. We circled back through Provo Canyon and then landed for some lunch in Provo proper. Ate WAY too much sushi and then eventually headed back to SLC to pick up Helena.


Oh, before I forget, while we were in Provo, we saw this advertised at Provo High School:

Yes folks, that's a bridal fair. At the HIGH SCHOOL. Ah...Utah culture. At least it's entertaining.
Some really great pictures are on flickr from our day...enjoy!

I'm glad that you and Ash got a day off together. Sometimes its the "nothing planned" times that you need to keep going. I could use one right about... now. :) -LBC

The pictures of the area are just beautiful! The Olympic park looks so strange with no snow! :)

Oh, and I'm terrified that they're having a bridal fair for high schoolers. Holy moly.

I have the exact picture of Andy when he was little standing with a bear statue in Colorado. I will try and find it. Beautiful area ... hope we can swing a visit in light of the current economic breakdown here in Detroit.

Love you all!
