Home

We made it home! We were glad to get back to our kids, we always miss them. I don't think we could ever leave them to go on a cruise or somewhere far and for more than a couple of days. We had a lovely time! The weather was fantastic, the fall colors are wonderful! We took the jeep, and of course left the top off. It is so much fun to ride in. We stayed at the Little America in SLC. It is a beautiful Hotel. It has really good food, BUT, let's just say I am glad it wasn't my 200.00 buck-a-roos that paid for the room. It was exquisitely decorated with antique French chic furnishings. The bed though, was horrific! I am not kidding the hardest thing I have ever slept in, well I didn't sleep cause it made every muscle ache. Aguado couldn't sleep either, and I can only sleep when I hear him snoring. At 2:30 am I seriously wanted to just go home. No more complaints though, the dinner we had was nice. Aguado's boss went all out. I had steak and salmon and there were hors d' oeuvres , some being snails...ewww. Ya know there is a fancy name for them but I cant remember what it is, YUCK! Besides the bugs, everything was really good. Saturday we went to Gardner Village, I didn't buy anything but started getting ideas of how I want to decorate my house. Aguado was a very good sport to walk around the place even though he was so bored. We also saw a movie, not proud of our choice, but I must say that Brad Pitt needs to be in more comedies, cause he is SO Funny!

I think the best part of the weekend, (besides being with aguado alone for a change) was just being able to people watch. It is one of my favorite things to do. I don't get to do it as much as I used to, well scratch that, I do it alot. It's just that I mostly just "Watch" my kids. I also just got to do what I wanted at my own pace, that is always very nice. So to close I am going to do a list of my experience this weekend:
