Before we went on our anniversary getaway, my mom and I and Makayla went on a trip to Nevada. Lots of outlet shopping, strip walking, swimming, etc. So one day, as if all this wasn't enough fun, we decided to drive 4 1/2 hours out to California for a day. We decided around 9:30 to actually go, but it took my aunt and her 6 kids like 3 hours to get ready. So we didn't leave till almost noon, got to the beach at 5-ish, and played as hard and long as we could before it got dark and cold. It was super super windy that day, so it was actually a bit chilly. But we didn't care at all. So when we left it was almost 9, and we didn't want to drive 4 1/2 more hours back to Vegas. We called and got a hotel in Victorville, about an hour from the beach.
Then spent the next day packing and getting ready for the drive back to Utah.


We got home on Wednesday night, and then Thursday afternoon Jason and I dropped Makayla off with Grandma, and then headed for Jackson Hole. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect anniversary getaway. It was out of town, it was gorgeous, it was fun, it was romantic. We decided we need to go up there more often! We did horseback riding, movies, ate at the coolest places...Billy's Giant Bugers...holy cow. Pretty much a heart attack on a bun, but SOOO good!! Mountain High Pizza Pie...amazing...New York Subway Shop...delicious!!! And candy shops that were to die for. I bought WAY too much fudge, and ate all of it.
Horesback rides at A-Ok Corral...SO fun! We did the two hour ride, but next time I think we would go for the 1/2 day ride, or 4 hour ride. It was SO fun.

Ok, now see the kid in the purple shirt on the Paint horse? Well...let's just say his ride was um...interesting. I think Jason and I laughed the whole time. The poor kids horse just had a mind of its own, and went wherever it pleased...going through the thick brush on the side of the trail...wandering off, trying to turn around and go back down the trail...hillarious. And the poor kid, who was all of maybe 14, didn't have a clue what to do.



Thanks for a wonderful weekend Jay! I love you!
