Pioneer Day

This weekend Jon and I went to dinner with his brother Jason and his girlfriend. After dinner we walked to the car and could hear the fireworks in the distance. We spotted a parking garage and decided to see if we could see the fireworks from there.

We were in luck. We watched the show and it was awesome. No crowds and no traffic to fight with afterwards. Plus there was the fabulous atmosphere of downtown.

Closeout Price...
Gee, I wonder why. Shouldn't everyone love a flavor called liquid fudge.

Loving...

Dear little beehive shaped beverage jar, I am in love with you. Will you please hitch a ride to my house where we can have BBQs and gatherings in the warm summer sun.

Thanks!

Signage

The other night Jon wanted to get out of the house. He wasn't sure what he wanted to do, but just that he didn't want to be home. I agreed so we jumped in the car and I started to drive. Granted it was pretty late in the evening to take a random road trip, but I am always game. Jon's brother had mentioned that we should see Coalville, if we hadn't already since we like interesting old buildings. So, that's where I headed.

We got to Coalville, drove down the main street and just kept driving to see where the road would take us. We drove around Echo Reservoir, which was pretty cool at night. Plus it was slightly stormy so the sky was full of cool clouds. I didn't really get any pictures since I was driving.

But we did end up driving into the town of Echo and came across these two spots. We stopped and I took a couple of quick pictures.

We continued to driving around the area, but by this time it was getting super dark and we really didn't know where we were. Thanks to the iphone blue dot, we quickly got our barrings and headed home.

I took this picture the other day of a building at one of the locations Jon did a photo shoot. I was really drawn to the sign on the front and that the wood was so weathered.

Sun and the Beach

I spent last week in California for work. Although I missed be away from home and had a lot of other things I needed to do to prepare for Austin it was nice to enjoy the warm weather of California.

For the last half of the week I was at the Seascape Resort in Aptos. This was the view from my room. It was awesome! I could hear the water in my room if I opened the patio doors.

Since I was there for work, they had all sorts of events and other things planned for our time. The best part was that we had dinner on the beach for the two nights we were there. The resort even set up bonfires and brought out supplies to make smores.

There is nothing more relaxing to me than watching the sunset and listening to the ocean.

All in all the trip was good. I did come home with a wicked sunburn though. My skin isn't used to the sun, since we haven't had very many warm sunny days yet this year.

A Day in the life of

The other night Jon and I grabbed some dinner at the Desert Edge Pub downtown. Although the sun started to set shortly after we sat down, and the temperature started to drop. It was nice to enjoy the warmer spring weather.

Really?

Go in the store for a few things and it's sprinkling. Come back out to this! Seriously Mother Nature I have two new pairs of sandals I *REALLY* want to wear, but not in the snow.
