Mini Vacation!

Yay! I love mini vacations!! Jared and I went to Utah this last weekend (Feb 28- Mar 1st)! It was short but it was well worth it, and so much fun! The point of going down was to get a bed from my aunt and uncle Camille and Matt. They were so nice to let us have their old bed, ours was killing my back!! => We drove down Saturday late morning/afternoon and went to Salt Lake to play around some! Jared had never been to Temple Square (other than when he was 5) and I just love it! WARNING: this is going to be a long post, we have many pictures, and I have even more things to say! =>
Our first stop in Temple Square was the Conference Center! We took a guided tour, and it was so fun! This is in the conference room, that seats like fifty billion people! (ok not that much, but a lot!)
On our tour we got to go on the roof! It was the first day it was opened this season! That was way fun! We lost our tour guide somewhere up there, so Jared and I went and looked around our selves and took pictures! I really am in this one! I am the tiny little speck dancing! =>
Little did we know you are not allowed to be on the roof without an escort of a tour guide. A security gaurd came and told us we had to leave the building. Can you believe it! We were kicked out of the conference center!!! => What a fun story! But me, being the little nerd that I am, asked the security guy to take a picture of me and Jared, WHILE he was escorting us off the premisise! => Arent I just a nut! => And how could the security gaurd say no to cute little ole me?!?!?! hehehe so this is the picture the security gaurd took of us! => I am so proud of it! =>
After being kicked out of the Conference Center, Jared and I decided to go terrorize the Salt Lake temple! We walked around and saw these cute doors, and just HAD to get a picture by them! => So we asked another security gaurd to take one of us (and NO we didnt get in trouble by him)!
Then as we continued our walk around the temple, I saw the statue places, and of course, the poser in my blood couldnt resist. hehehe This is one of my many poses on the temple! =>
We were also able to go in the tabernacle! That building is beautiful! I cant even imagine building that thing now days, let alone in the pioneer days!!
Jard and I in the Assembly Hall! They have the original benched in this building, and Jared could not sit straight in them because they are incredibly close together! It was so funny to watch him try! Too bad I didnt get a picture of it!
I love this picture! You can see the Tabernacle, Salt Lake Temple, and the Conference center! I think it is way cool!











Ok, I know I talk about Jared a lot, but how can I help it?!?! He is just so amazing! Well Another thing he is incredibly good at is taking pictures! He took these two pictures, I watched him! I love the pictures, so I just wanted to share them with you all! =>
After our little escapade in Temple Square, we headed down to Provo to play with Jess! And as a little treat we stayed with Nik and Dusty (who had never met Jared before)! It was so fun to see them again!! And Nikki has just the cutest kids! Too bad they dont know who I am! =<>
This is me and my cute cousin Raygan in her pretty church dress! =>
Raygan just HAD to show us her tricks on her trampoline! (jumping high) and look at this little cutie jump! (again, Jared is a great photographer! =>)
Me and my cousin Jess!!! Oh I love her!!! =>
After saying our regretful good-byes to our lovely Provo family, we went up to Mt Green to get our bed. It was stored at Todd and Corianns house. These are the two studly men trying to fit a mattress and boxspring on our truck!
The boys ended up taking the toolbox off and setting the bed on the bed of the truck. Todd was brave enough to go below and hook the hooks and tuck in the tarp! Way to go Todd! =>
And of course, it was a funny sight! =>
So, Todd might have needed a little help out => It was a tight squeeze! =>
Thanks so much for the fun mini vacation fam!! And thanks for sticking through this whole post readers! I promise, when we go on a real big vacation, I will do a slide show! => Have a wonderful day!!
