Sisters + Mom Weekend

Each year my sisters and mom get together for a weekend getaway. We switch off between Utah and Colorado so that half of us have to travel only every other year. This year it landed in late October which was lovely. And it was even more lovely because we didn't have any nursing babies coming along. Not that we don't love babies it's because we can get more fun in without them :)

We started by getting some breakfast then shopping at Saver's thrift store before meeting up with Rose. We then went to lunch at Wasatch Pub & Grill.

We did some window shopping.

Hotel shenanigans. No, we didn't pack that heavy! My mom brought some huge bags of hand me downs for us to sort through. It's like shopping for free. And she has better taste than I do. Thanks Mom!

We celebrated Rose's birthday that Friday.

We ate at her traditional sushi restaurant, Ichiban. It was yummy! It's inside this renovated church so it has cool ambiance with vaulted beamed ceilings and stained glass. And I had a migraine coming on all day so I indulged in some Dr Pepper which helped get rid of it. Stupid migraines....I am working on getting rid of those. After dinner, Jonny, who came for her birthday dinner, joined us at Gourmandise. Then back to the hotel for late night laughing and our "favorite things" gift exchange.

With the lack of children we were able to go to the temple. Marci had never been to a session at SLC temple. And we had family names which made it more special.

Annual pedicures.

Then we toured the brand new Eccles performing arts theater in SLC that will house performances such as touring Broadway shows, comedians, etc. Next door is Eva's bakery so we had some more French desserts! That night we ate at Bombay House because Jennie had never been. She's the resident Indian food expert and helped us order some new tasty dishes.

On Sunday we had everyone over for dinner. Tyler smoked some chicken (not this one) for dinner and then we watched West Side Story. Jennie wanted to see it again and Tyler and Jonny had never seen it. So we ate some chocolate cookies and watched Rome & Juliet in a modern musical film. Even the kids stay up until half way then we made them go to bed. And we watched the rest for FHE the next night.

Jennie is going to convince Grant that they need to raise chickens. Ha! No, she's not trying to strangle it. Her hand position is just funny.

It was a great weekend of no kids, food, talking, laughing, counseling, spiritual nourishment, sorta sleeping in and laughing. Good times.
