I can't believe I forgot my camera!
And believe me there was plenty of opportunity for good photo documentation.
Today we had an adventure.
First we cleaned house (I know, not very adventurous).
Then we dressed up and went with Abby to her friend's wedding reception. It was outside and the decorations were so pretty! There were white and teal puffy decorative balls from the trees, beautiful mirror centerpieces with flowers, and peacock feathers popping up in all sorts of places.
After the reception we parted ways with Abby and then decided to drive to the Bountiful temple. It was such a beautiful day to visit the temple grounds. Then we went to eat at a place called No Bettah! Steaks, Hawaiin BBQ. Pretty tasty!
Then we drove down hghway 89, and after a brief and exciting incident where Lamoni decided to drive the wrong way on a one-way street we made it safely to temple square in Salt Lake. I mentioned that I had never been to the capital building before so we parked and set off to explore the grand edifice. We loved the dome and the intricate marble columns inside.
Then we drove down to the side of the capital hill just to see the beautiful grounds of Memorial Park. If you've never been - go there.
All the time, I kept asking where The Gateway was because I kept thinking we were getting close but apparently we weren't (my sense of direction is not too keen these days). So, to set me straight Lamoni drove us to The Gateway. We walked around the shops for a while and especially enjoyed playing with apps and games in the Apple store and admiring the beautiful dresses of what was apparently prom night. We even saw about 20 teenagers pile out of a stretch hummer limo. Very cool.
We ended our Gateway experience with the Clark Planetarium (yes, I'm a nerd). We didn't see any shows but we played with the cool science stuff set up and wandered around the gift shop.
Then we rushed back to Provo just in time to watch the live broadcast of Manny Pacquiao vs. Sugar Shawn Mosby at a friend's house. Unfortunately (sort of), I became super tired and slept through the first 7 rounds. I did wake up in time to see Mosby step on Pacquiao's foot and push him over. Pacquiao finished him off after that but it was overall a disappointing match for all fans involved. On a side note, our friend gave us a telescope that he no longer uses so we rushed home after the game to try it out.
After looking at the moon for a while we sat on our front porch and enjoyed the evening air. Finally, we went to bed and crashed. Thanks Lamoni for a wonderful adventure:)
