the return and report

Finally, blogger is ready to play nice, so here is my return and report from Salt Lake City.

This Is the Place

HH builds a great fire

Sparklers in the rain

Tin Foil dinners -- I chopped all the veg

No trip to Utah is complete without a trip to Cafe Rio

I'm not sure if these photos properly exude how much fun I had. It was quite possibly the best trip of my adult life.  I had some reservations about being gone for 2 weeks, and really 2 weeks wasn't enough.  

Salt Lake (and what I saw of Northern Utah) really is beautiful.  I could easily live there, and if HH had her way, I would.  Maybe one day, maybe one day.

Other noteworthy activities that didn't get photographed:

• seeing this movie.  Save your pennies.
• eating here, here and here.  (Al, you'll be so proud at the number of Diners, Drive-Ins and Drives restaurants we visited!)
• going up to Logan and walking around the USU campus
• HH being pulled over 3 times
•  seeing this, this, this, this, this, and of course this
• eating fro-yo, frozen custard and shave ice
• celebrating Pioneer Day

There are probably other things that I have now since forgotten; seeing as how I returned a month ago.  I can honestly say, I can't wait to go back!
