Since we were not going to be in Michigan for our anniversary we decided to go all out for our anniversary and get a hotel in Salt lake City. Also we arranged for Preston to have a sleep over at Seth and Megan's during our get away and he had a great time! So the weather on our anniversary was terrible!! The weather kinda forced us to change our plans a little bit but we did have a fantastic time anyways. First off we headed to salt lake a little earlier then planned to make sure we could make it to salt lake city at all. We went to outback steakhouse which was really close to salt lake city and the roads were horrible! It was just crazy. It took us about 45 more mins longer then it should have. However we had a very nice dinner. MMmmm. Then we ventured out into the snow storm to our hotel in downtown salt lake city. There was so much snow and ice on the roads that we even saw a tow truck spin out. Needless to say we drove slow and steady. ;-P It was very strange driving downtown with little to no traffic. Also with all the snow it didn't even look like downtown salt lake. so weird. Anyways the hotel was wonderful and the hotel staff were so helpful with directions and everything. Also the next morning when we went to leave, our car was all cleared off of snow and ice!! We would not mind going back there, that is for sure!
After checking in and everything we decided to go to the mall that was right by the hotel. We got some hot chocolate and walked around the outdoor mall....lol i think we were just about the only ones. We still enjoyed our very snowy walk none the less. ;-) Later that night we went to Denny's for some dessert....we had some plans to go to a much nicer place but it was way too far away from the tram system and we did not want to drive. Anyways dessert at Denny's was good and we rode the tram.....fun times. We may not of done a whole lot but we sure enjoyed our time as just a couple in Salt Lake City.
The next day we slept in of course but only till 9:30 LOL We are so used to getting up with Preston that 9:30 seemed like sleeping in. Then we had breakfast at Denny's and headed back to Provo for a movie. We saw Tangled...such a good movie! I loved it! Anyways I think we determined that celebrating an anniversary like this is worth every penny! We definatly want to do this again next year! ;-)
When we left Provo it was slightly sprinkling.
Closer to the point of the mountain it was pouring.
at the point of the mountain it was snowing/raining.
Into the salt lake valley...snow! Lots of Snow and since it had been raining there was ice under the snow as well!! Yuck!
Our winter wonderland! It was so quiet and beautiful!
The gateway!
Trams! Best way to travel! Especially in crappy weather!
Hotel lobby...Davin hanging out by the fire!
Tram station right by our hotel...pretty awesome!
we really do love each other!! ;-)
Davin loved the tram a little too much i think. ;-P
