Trip to Utah


We are back from our Utah trip. Is always nice to be back home, but I sure miss Tristan and Sandy, Marty and Osi, the new family addition. I wish we had had more time to get to play with her!
We did some fun things while in Utah, especially the Thanksgiving Gardens, it was so awesome, I loved it! I also enjoyed Taggart Grill in Morgan. great food and beautiful surroundings. And of course having my first pastry at Madeleine's yummy. I also enjoyed all the restaurants we went to and the meals we had there and at home. I love food!!!! Sandy also bought 2 books and let me read them first, I enjoyed them both very much, ones was Julia Julie by Julie Powell and the other Best Friends Forever by Jennifer Weiner.

I had a couple problems while I was there too, first THE HEAT! as Sandy said, I am getting older pfffft and can't stand the heat as much, which is true, then I had a huge pain in my big toe, I thought it was gout but maybe arthritis, but let me tell you, it was painful! luckily it only lasted 2-3 days. I also got bitten by something while I was outside in the porch, a bite in the arm, a bite in the lip, go figure, Marvin spent a lot of time in the porch and nothing bothered him lol. Also because of the heat, my dry eyes grot drier, sometimes they were terribly blurry. Last but not least, I bumped my leg while getting on the bathtub, I kid you not, I got a dent. It hurt. In a word, I am klutzy!

In the way to Sandy's home, we stopped in Beaver, that's where the inventor of TV was born and also Butch Cassidy was born there. We stayed in the crappiest Motel ever. Tristan didn't like it at all and neither did we.
In the way back, we made reservations to a new hotel casino in Las Vegas. Beautiful hotel, great big room and bathroom, beautiful amenities but......horrible pillows lol. I couldn't fall sleep. Marvin says I am like the Princess and the Pea ;)

So we got home in La Mirada, and after 100+ degrees days in Utah and Las Vegas, I was looking forward cooler temperatures , and guess what? it was 100 here too!!!!!
Thanks Marvin for a nice trip, you are a great driver!
