Lagoon Staycation

Andrew and I took a mini vacation with our friends this past weekend.

We started off our trip with Salt Lake and I have never really toured the area except for Temple Square and a few other places but we stepped out of the obvious things we normally do and I discovered that Salt Lake is a gem! It is beautiful and I want to go back and discover more! 

After growing up in Utah my entire life I have never once been to the state capital. I don't know how that is even possible. The building was closing soon so we did a quick tour by ourselves and accidentally crashed a wedding reception. Don't be too surprised if I ever blog about the state capital again. It is a gorgeous building that I want to return to. 

And once back in 1957-1965 George Clyde was the Governor of Utah and

he is Andrew's Great-Grandfather. We got a picture with him ;) 

We went to the Pie that is located right by the campus and that place is good.

We almost ordered the pizza that feeds 20 people but we withheld (the pizza's are huge!)

After our adventures we went hot-tubing at the hotel. 

The next morning we drove up to Lagoon. It was semi disappointing because the major attractions were closed for the day so we did quite a few carnival rides instead. We did make it on some of the big attractions throughout the day as some gradually opened up but next time I think we'll make the extra trip to Disneyland, Knotts, or Six Flags. 

We still had a fun time though and the rest of the pictures can do the talking :) 

We ended our little staycation with Pei Wei, a place Andrew and I had never been.

My favorite part was defiantly the unlimited fortune cookies. For some reason I love them. 

The End. 

(it was fun to get away for a day)

Andrew got a mini drone for Christmas and now that the weather is nice we've been taking it and playing with it. He is once again a child! And I love him for it.

The camera is not the best quality but the whole idea of a drone is pretty cool. 

And it's fun to see him play with it and enjoy it.

He's cute, sometimes he'll put the drone in the trunk of the car before we go out on a hike or some other activity. Most of the time we don't pull it out but it's there as a "just in case" we want to use it.

This past Saturday we went to The Lion King and it brought back the childhood memories. 

In the Broadway version there are new songs which I fell in love with.

Rafiki had one of the most amazing voices. 

The costumes were elaborate, intricate, and detailed.

It was beautiful. 

^The Earl Family^ (minus Ryan- he's mission serving)

^Curtain Call- those giraffes on the right are people on stilts^ 

The Lion King has so many powerful moments such as the song "He Lives in You" or when Simba takes his place on Pride Rock. And it's a good thing I had allergies to blame when Mufasa died or when Simba sang "Endless Night". I love this story and I think the Broadway play brought such a deeper and richer meaning to the original movie. I think that Disney is doing an new "live" movie and that makes me so excited! Oh and if anyone can please explain to me why Timon's puppeteer is green I would appreciate it. That threw me.
