Get-Away

I forgot to post about our pre-school get-away. Before school started we took a quick little get-away to Salt Lake. We started out with a little lunch at the California Pizza Kitchen.

Then we went on over to the Clark Planetarium and saw Bugs in 3D. It was both entertaining and educational!

Then we played at the Planetarium. I spent forever watching this thing. Its basically a maze/obstacle course. there are a bunch of little golf-ball sized balls that go all over.



Then we headed on over to the gift shop and played with all the stuff


And tried on some hats. This is a lady bug

and some kind of space helmet

Then we drove over to the state capital. We took pictures with a bison (not a buffalo; thanks Cheryl)


We just walked around inside the capital. It's muchos beautiful.

We were going to go get some doughnuts at this place we have been wanting to go, but they were closed. So Mark just HAD to go to Maverick (yes the gas station) to get some frozen yogurt. I passed on gas station yogurt.
It was a nice little break before we started school. Now we are on to the new semester; full of stress, LOTS of reading, 4 research papers, and 5 presentations (and that's just my classes!)

I wasn't sure what you meant by "pre-school" getaway at first - so they went with preschoolers some where? Ha ha...I'm a nerd.

When Jordan and I were dating I was trying to guess his middle name. I got all the letters but the r and guessed Byson. He won't let me live it down. "You think my middle name is bison? - that's like a buffalo." I'll never hear the end of it.

I just read back on this comment and realized I sound like a total dumb blonde!
