A night on the town

Since our anniversary was on Sunday, Brad decided to take yesterday off so we could go out and celebrate a little. It was really such a good day and I wish that we could have more days that were so carefree and relaxing. We were so lazy all morning and it was so nice. We decided we were going to head to salt lake to do a little shopping and to see the lights. So we hopped on the train and found ourselves at gateway. Brad and I love going to the planeterium there and are pretty much just big kids when we get in there. It is always so cool to see all of the different exhibits and we love looking at the store there (though we never buy anything:). We watched one of the star shows and besides a little motion sickness we really enjoyed it.
We thought we would see if we could find any after christmas deals that we couldn't pass up but there were hardly any temptations. So that meant it was dinnertime and after much deliberation we settled on Zteja's. The food was so yummy and we ate tons of it. Next was up to Temple Square to see the lights and it was so pretty there. There were a lot of different nativities out that I don't remember seeing before so it was kind of like a new experience. We finished off our night with some dessert and headed back to the train.
It was just such a good day for us and we were pretty proud of ourselves for doing all that we wanted to and catching the train when we wanted to- normally we cram too much and end up missing our train!

One of the nativities that I thought was neat- does it look like they are wearing hersheys kisses on their heads to anyone else?

Outside the JSMB


Blondie anyone?

Train ride home- we were tired and cold but still smiling!

I like that nativity set, I can see Grandma C liking that one too. I am jealous of the outing!

You two are so cute. I am so glad you are still in the "FUN" dating mode. That is fun you got to ride the train. I don't know if we will ever try it out. Looks like you had a great day and had a really fun time.
