A few weeks ago, Scott and I celebrated our 27th anniversary. Here's what we did:
I picked Scott up at work on Friday about noon and then we drove to Monticello, Utah. It's about 4 hours away. It's a very small town but the reason we went was to attend the temple there. We're trying to go to all the temples in Utah; I think there are 15. We just have Vernal left.
We attended a session and then we went out to dinner at the HorseHead Grill. It's definitely a cowboy place.
We stayed that night at the Inn at the Canyons which I would visit again. I wanted to stay at a bed-and-breakfast place but I waited too long to make our reservation. In the morning it was quite chilly, 28 degrees. Meanwhile it was 46 degrees in Moab, a mere 50 miles away. The elevation difference is about 3000 feet so perhaps that explains the temperatures. Fortunately we had planned on going to Moab on Saturday.
We drove to Negro Bill Canyon which is right next to the Colorado River. Then we did the hike to Morning Glory Bridge which is a natural arch. It was a nice hike of about 2 miles each way. The tricky part is you have to cross the creek several times so your feet will probably get wet. I had on my waterproof hiking boots so I was okay. Scott was wearing running shoes and they got wet.
After the hike we drove back to Orem and had dinner at the Old Spaghetti Factory. Our son Everett was working that night there as a balloon artist so he made some balloons for us.
Then we went home! We needed to relieve our babysitter, our son, Garrett. It's hard to leave our youngest for very long with her various medical issues. So it was short but enjoyable.
