Valentines Weekend Getaway

Valentines Weekend for us was a blast!!! It kicked off Friday afternoon with making homemade chocolate covered strawberries...YUM. We visited a few friends in the early evening and then headed to the Stake Valentines Party. I was asked to make a poster for the pictures and that was fun. We had some yummy lasagna and salad and socializing with friends.
We took off early Saturday morning and dropped Roxy off at her weekend destination:Ellie's Pet Hotel in Brigham City "Where its fun to be furry"...what? We continued down to Ogden where we did indoor skydiving at iFly. It was a blast and we can't wait to go again! We got some great video footage I will upload soon. After that we headed down to SLC and checked into the Hilton for the night. We had dinner at Takashi Japanese & sushi. We had read rave reviews online and decided to try it out because we like sushi. It really blew us away! We ate at the bar and were lucky enough to have Takashi himself to make our rolls. We finished the night off with a shopping stroll down Gateway with our friends Matt & Amanda Frandsen (you guys rock!). The next morning we had a fabulous brunch at Little America hotel...how spoiled! We planned this trip to relax and get away from schoolwork and it worked! Sunday afternoon we jetted down to Lindon to hang out with my family for a few hours...Perfect weekend!

Chocolate covered strawberries...Yummmmm
