Honeymoon, Part Deux

Uh, ok. So here's the deal:
We went on our honeymoon to SD to see all our friends and family, but it was short and filled with friends and family. We love you all, but we wanted a "get away from everyone and do our own thing with no time tables or responsibilities or people to please and take our picture unless we decide we want to" time. That's such a mouthful that we are calling it our "second honeymoon" or "Honeymoon, part 2".
As some of you know, "The Lion King" is performing in Salt Lake at the moment. Michael had a pair of fantastic tickets for Thursday evening. Who would've thought he'd be taking his wife? :D
So, we went to Salt Lake on Thursday afternoon, went to The Lion King on Thursday night, spent Friday running around SLC, Saturday at the Farmer's Market, and then took the long way home.
Fantastic!
Some Highlights:
1. Julie got done packing before Michael.
2. We got to SLC and Julie realized she forgot underclothes.
3. We had to find a Wal Mart or Target.
4. We found an AWESOME Wal Mart. It had an escalator, two-story parking, and a cart-lifter.
5. On the escalator, we found a dust ball that was desperately trying to get up or down. I tried to help it down, and well, it just came back up to where it was in the first place. Maybe it was just trying to stay where it was, the stubborn piece of dust.
6. We did a session at the Salt Lake Temple.
7. Wow.
8. Church History Museum = Way cool artifacts from way cool people who helped shape a culture.
9. Farmer's Market.
10. If you've never been to a FM, you need to find one. (In San Diego, there's one in Little Italy every Saturday morning and you can get delicious coconut pancakes). This one was awesome. It is at Pioneer Park and it had everything from photos to eggplants and tortillas and kettle corn. Fresh Bread, atmosphere, and candied nuts. *sigh*
11. Chicken Gnocchi Soup from Olive Garden
12. THE LION KING. Breathtaking. I cried. Twice.
13. Spending 3 days with the love of my eternities. Glory.

Now it is back to reality and being responsible and doing all those things we wish we didn't have to.

We just wanted to thank everyone for the support you have shown Julie and I. We have been married now for a little over two weeks, and are still madly and deeply in love. We are quickly adjusting to married life and are enjoying establishing our home together. Thank you again for your support. We look forward to our marvelous and wonderful "Happily Ever After."
