JULY
We traveled to Oklahoma for the fourth of July weekend. We didn't travel by plane but instead spent a couple of days traveling from Idaho to Oklahoma. I will say that it is a long drive from point A to point B. We did a couple of fun things. Here are some highlights from the trip:
We watched the Transformers Movie in 3D
We went and had fun at Dave and Busters
Finally, we ended the weekend and our 4th of July with a 5k Run
Basically Cali and I got up early in the morning to run/ walk mostly for an hour. One of us thought the 5K was cool and the other did not enjoy the 3.5 mile walk early in the morning. All in all, it was great experience if you ever get the chance to to do a 5K one day.
So, we ended our trip to Oklahoma by leaving that Tuesday and decided to make a detour into Utah. We had bought tickets to see the American Idol tour in Salt Lake City. Yes, we did see Scotty, Lauren, Haley and the rest of the gang.
It was a great show with great music. All the people from this season were pretty much amazing.
Other facts in July: Cali got a job at a call center and I turned 25 on the 25th of July.
AUGUST:
My Brother got married the first weekend in August. So that meant we traveled again across the US. This time we decided to travel through the air. We were too tired to travel by car. We thought it better if we took a break from the car. So the first week of August found us in Minnesota. We met up with my family again and had a blast in Minneapolis.
Highlights from the Trip:
I WAS OLD ENOUGH TO RENT A CAR
We drove the Chevy HHR around town for the weekend. It was a nice car and we enjoyed the satellite radio that came with the vehicle. So many radio stations to choose from.....
WE WENT TO MALL OF AMERICA WITH THE FAMILY, WE RODE RIDES AND SHOPPED TIL WE DROPPED
SPENCER AND ASHLEY GOT MARRIED
This was the real purpose of the weekend. We watched Spencer and Ashley tie the knot.
So we would like to welcome Ashley to the family.
WE CELEBRATED OUR ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY
My brother happened to get married one day before our one year anniversary. We spent the day celebrating by going to a baseball game seeing the twins, seeing a movie, and eating at olive garden. It was a wonderful day spent together.
We left Minnesota the following day to head back to Idaho. We swore we wouldn't travel til next summer.... but we decided that we needed to get away one final time before school starts next week on the 12th of September.
SEPTEMBER:
We got the traveling bug again over Labor Day weekend. I decided, we ought to spend some together before we got busy in the fall and in the winter. We chose to travel 3 hours and head for Salt Lake City for the weekend. It was a blast!
Highlights for the Weekend:
WE SPENT TWO NIGHTS AT THE HYATT
These are really nice hotels. The beds felt comfortable. Who would complain about the 46' flat screen tv that rotates between the couch and the bed. We will probably find ways to spend more time at this hotel chain.
WE VISITED TEMPLE SQUARE AND THE SALT LAKE TEMPLE AND TOURED THE CONFERENCE CENTER
We enjoyed feeling the wonderful Spirit found at temple square. This section of downtown is beautiful, we were glad that we were able to visit.
WE ATE AT TUCANOS ( A VERY GOOD BRAZILIAN RESTAURANT)
This place was very good. The meat there was excellent. It is a very fun and exciting atmosphere. I recommend anyone to go if they have one in there area.
WE SAW THE BROADWAY PRODUCTION OF MARY POPPINS
We went to the Capitol Theatre in Downtown Salt Lake. We got the opportunity to enjoy a very good show.
The Music was great. The Dancing was wonderful. It was well worth the price to see this production.
Well the summer is now over. No more vacations. Its back to school and back to work. We traveled many miles and tried new places to eat. We did fun things and many memories were shared. Farewell Summer! Until next year!
