This last weekend we decided to get away and have some fun. We dropped the kids off at Mom and Dads (thank you!!) and headed to SLC for the night. We stayed at the Marriott by the University of Utah and went to Dracula's Masquerade Ball. Lots of people were dressed up, we should have, it would have been fun, maybe next time. The show was great and so was the food. The hotel was nice till we tried to sleep. The nice feathery bed was deceiving. When you first lay down it seemed so soft and cozy, but after about 10 mins in any position you started to get achy and had to move. So we both tossed and turned all night, but oh well. It was still fun, even if we didn't sleep much. The next morning on our way back to get the boys we drove by the new Draper temple. Its beautiful, kind of reminds me of Mt. Timpanogas temple, only smaller and without the big windows. The temple as cool, but you should see the houses up there! They look more like castles, it was incredible. I'm not sure why anyone needs a house that big, they were the biggest homes I've ever seen. And about half of them were for sale. It was crazy.
Then we went and got the boys, who are always so much cuter after being away from them for a little bit. They had a great time with Grandma and Grandpa.

That sounds like a fun little getaway, but OH SO sorry about the bed - that sucks!
How fun! It's great to have the parents so close--so nice to have a get away once in a while.
We had fun with the boys too and they were so good for us.
How interesting. First you go to Dracula's ball, then you pass by the lovely temple. What interesting swings our lives take. Then you see the big houses - which, as I read your description, reminded me so very much of the great and spacious buildings, built right there, close to the tree of life. And that half of them were empty? I mean, really - if you are living the way the brethren have been telling us to all these years, with thrift - buying only what you need and what you can actually easily pay for, you would never end up with a huge, oversized house dangling from your weak little fingers.
Interesting interlude.
