Salt Lake City

In June, we were able to travel to Salt Lake city to be able to see our good friends Scott and Dre get married!  It was a nice short plane ride, and the first thing on our to do list was to visit The Crown Burger.  At the time, Chris was obsessed with a show called Man vs. Food.  It's basically a ridiculous show where a guys tries to eat obscene amounts of food at different restaurants.  Chris had just happened to see the "Salt Lake City" version of the show right before we left and insisted that we eat there as soon as we landed.  So we did ... and he loved it :)

Afterwards, we of course had to visit was SLC is known for, Temple Square.  It was absolutely amazing, and grounds were immaculate.

The grounds certainly provided for some great picture taking opportunities :)

I was obsessed with this statue...  It's a statue of Joseph Smith, but if I were to personify Mr. Bingley (my car), this is exactly what I know he would look like.

I'm so glad his wardrobe matched my purse this day :)

There were carriage rides all over the place.  This one was my favorite... Not only because his name was Ed, but because he was sporting a sweet cowboy hat!!

It was a great first day to start our vacation!

Hawaii... The last Day

The morning of our last day, we decided to go to one of the local beaches.  I forget the exact name, but it is supposed to be one of the best beaches in the world for surfboarding.  It was literally just us because we went so early in the morning, but it was a perfect end to our trip.

Hawaii Continued...

When we went in to town, we made a point to Peal Harbor.  It was absolutely amazing.  They took us out on boats to the actual memorial where the U.S.S. Arizona still lies today.  There is still oil that comes up out of the water (you could see it in the rainbow reflection on the next page).  It was such a awesome experience.

After our visit, we decided to take the scenic route back to our hotel, which was about 45 minutes away. It was a bit longer, but it was absolutely beautiful...

We also wanted to make sure we could make it to a lou out, so that night we decided to go to the Polynesian Cultural Center.  It was a great experience, and we even picked a pearl out of a oyster :)  I think that’s actually one of the only souvenirs I brought back...
