Logan!

By -
 This past weekend we went up to Logan for a day trip to visit our good friends Kim and Matt.  Kim and I have been friends since we were 5 years old in modern dance together.  Throughout our lives I feel like our seeing each other goes in waves.  Sometimes we see each other all the time, then life gets in the way and we go months without playing.  This is why we went to Logan.  Because I refuse to let some mountains and a long stretch of freeway come between me and one of my best friends.

I have had this visit on the calendar for month.  I was sooo excited!  We got up super early on Saturday and drove up.  First we stopped and had crepes with Porter's Dad and Grandpa since they live up there too.  Then we headed over to meet Kim and Matt.  We chilled for a bit then hit up the DI up there.  There was a beautiful bed spread there that I wanted really bad, but Porter wasn't convinced that it was worth redoing the color scheme in our room for.  So, alas, I left it there.  

Kim is going to Florida for 2 weeks, I know, lucky right?!  So she and I headed to the spa for her to get her first ever bikini wax.  The last time we tried waxing was in junior high for a dance.  She had bought some NADS, which was green gloopy gel that you smeared on your skin, put a little cloth on and ripped off.  It was supposed to be waxing without the hot wax.  Well, we put it on her upper lip, waited then ripped.  The good news was that it pulled the hair off.  Bad news, her skin came with it!!!  There was blood coming from all the little follicles and from the lack of skin.  It was so sad and funny at the same time.  Anyway, she was a little nervous.  I don't blame her!  I was having a manicure and scalp massage so there was no fussing on this end.  When she was done, I asked how it was.  Mind you, the waxing lady was still in the room, she said 'it was great!  Really great.'  As soon as the waxing lady left, it was a totally different story, she was like 'ouch! that hurt like a mother!'  Hahahaha!  Ah well, she will have a great time in her bikini on the warm sandy beaches.

Later we went for nummy Indian Food.  I had never had Indian before, so I was quite excited.  This is us before heading in.

This is some of our sampler plate.  And later we got a curry of some kind.  Matt ordered a Vindaloos, which is one of the spiciest curries.  I am proud to say I tried it, and actually like it.
 This is after our feast, we ate so much our guts were hanging out!
Afterwards we went to a cheese factory and grabbed some cheese and flavored milk.  We brought home cookies and creme milk, strawberry, mango and root beer milk.  All are pretty good but root beer is my favorite!  It tastes like a root beer float in your milk!  To end our trip we grabbed gelato.  Kim and I wanted to show you our favorite flavors.  Mine was the mama mia, vanilla, chocolate and cherry.  I miss Kim, but I love the time and silliness that we get to share!

St. George Spring Break

Just like the rest of the world, we haven't traveled in a year. We all have been going stir crazy and really wanted to get out for a quick get away over spring break. We thought about the beach, but opted for a destination we could drive too: St. George, Utah. Southern Utah is magical. There really is no other place on earth like it. The red rock desert mixed with exotic land formations and the occasional pop of green foliage make for a unique and exiting adventure.  We had never actually stayed in St. George. I did a bunch of research of where to stay, where to eat and what to do. I think it turned out really well if I do say so myself.  We stayed at the Las Palmas Resort in Condo 1801 . This resort and condo are awesome! The complex has lots of pools and hot tubs. Plus there are play grounds everywhere. We were on the bottom floor and our patio opened up right to playground. We would just open the door and let the girls go play while we enjoyed dinner and a glass of wine on the

Italian Babymoon 2016: Venice

Venice.  This was the final stop on the Italian Babymoon.  We flew in to Rome, and flew out of Venice.  I really liked the way we planned this.  We didn't have to circle back to Rome to catch a flight, which was awesome!  We decided to go to Venice because it is kind of one of those places you just have to see.  It was cool, but not my favorite part of Italy.  It feels completely different compared to the other areas we visited.  Also, everything is way more expensive.  So just be prepared to pay a lot more for the same stuff you had in Florence.  However, we did have a lovely time. Water taxi, canal boat, or walking over many little bridges is how you get around.  Porter and I road the water taxi around a bunch to see the sights.  It's a great way to get a lay of the land. There is one large canal the taxis go around called The Grand Canal, then countless little canals that the little boats go through.  It was crazy to think that people would walk out their front

Italian Babymoon 2016: Florence

You Guys!  It's been a hot minute hasn't it?   So life with a baby is crazy, which is normal I think.  I completely abandoned my blog.  And middle saga no less.  I still have 2 posts to go on the Babymoon.  Never mind that the baby bump in this first picture is now almost a toddler, but I digress.  I have so many more posts to share of our travels and life.  So let's get to it.   Florence was our 3rd stop in Italy.  I was so excited to see the sculptures, and eat the gelato.  However, when we got to our hotel room, I was in love.  Our bed was gorgeous, and the best thing was the fact that they had air conditioning!!!  I just wanted to lay in the nice cool bed and sleep.  The bump was looking quite on point, so I had to snap a picture of the bump and the room.  We stayed at Art Atelier .  When Porter was finally able to rouse me from my lovely nap we jumped up to head out the door.  However, Porter jumped a little too much and his phone went flying.
