Quick trip to SLC

We got a wedding invite from the Hollands for Hansen's reception in SLC. Taz really wanted to go because Hansen was one of his best preteen friends growing up. He invited us to tag along. It worked out great because Garry had a meeting at Hill AFB on the Tuesday after the reception so his work basically paid for our long weekend. We brought Andrew along to spend time with Ryan at his new place as he just started attending U of U. Taz also stayed with R and A. Our first stop was lunch in Cedar City at Charlies BBQ. We had frychos and the did not disappoint. They were delicious. Taz had been raving about them! We left Saturday morning and got there and dropped Andrew off and checked into our hotel. Taz was with us and we watched Always be my Maybe on Netflix to kill time. It was really good. We went to the reception and stayed the whole time. Lex came about an hour in and hung with us. We got to visit with the Hollands a little and Denise and Savanah Robinson were also there and we talked to them the whole time too.

Sunday, we had dinner at Ryan's. He wanted to grill some rib eye for us. The sunset view from his balcony was killer! Ryan and Taz were thrilled that they'd "caught up " to Andrew in height in the couple of years they'd been apart. We had to take a photo as proof. Monday, Garry and I spent the day at Heritage Park and This is the Place Monument. We really enjoyed it. They have built a park by the monument that is has a Pioneer village feel to it. They have imported a bunch of houses and cabins and such that were built back in the day and they have a train that goes around the park and you can stop at various places and take tours of the houses and do fun activities throughout the day. We spent 5 hours there and just really enjoyed it. One of the cabins that Garry and I are inside was a one room "house" and housed a mom and dad and their 7 children! I loved the school room which brought me back to my Laura Ingalls Wilder days and we got Brigham's donuts, a nice little treat. I always love the Indians and they had an Indian village. Garry tried his hand at a milking toy made to teach the kids how to milk a cow. When the mastered the toy, they were ready for the chore.   

Garry and I tried some food places that were recommended to us by Mike Van and some that had sentimental memories for us. Moochies was on Diners, Drive In's and Dives and we  were to try the Philly cheese steak said Mike. It was soooooo good and worth a trip to try it. We also tried the meatball sub, but will leave it be next time and stick to the cheese steak. We then went to the Pie Pizzaria. It was one we always went to in Provo and loved the cheesy bread. The one we went to was on U of U campus and it was good and we loved the decor as it was "underground". Then when Garry was at his all day meeting at Hill AFB I found a little burger shop that had scones and I thoroughly enjoyed my scone as it reminded me of my Friar Tuck days. In the mean time, Taz had a great time meeting up with old friends. Paige came to Ryan and Andrews for dinner. He met up with Mina from Korea and Lex came down to Provo for the day so they could all go float the river. We really loved our little quick trip and wish we would do it more often.
