There's nothing like finding out you're having TWINS to make you come to the realization you and your husband have never had a getaway just the two of you. And that's exactly what I realized...while we do lots of fun things, and we love spending our weekends and getaways with family and friends - the realization that there will be very little alone time after the next few months hit me very quickly.
So for a combined Mother's/Father's day present, my wonderful hubby planned a
weekend getaway for us last weekend. A relaxing weekend in Park City full of shopping, scenic drives, laughter, good food and finished off with a trip to the zoo in Salt Lake with great friends. It was fantastic. We definitely need to take some more time together - especially with the nuggets on the way.
We had such a great time. Even if we are completely old and married. The first night there, our excitement consisted of a trip to Wal Mart for some diet mountain dew (for Tadd) and veggies and dip (for this pregnant lady), a brief visit to the hot tub (only for this pregnant lady to say "Too hot" and sit with my feet barely in the water), and then back to our room where we played Monopoly U-Build for a good two and a half hours. Yep, we know, total party animals! But it was just what we needed.

Other highlights of the trip:
Shopping
Who doesn't love shopping in Park City? I am such a sucker for good deals! Who doesn't love getting four shirts for $13?! The fact they are stretchy and big enough to fit over my quickly growing belly - bonus! Plus I found a new pair of maternity pants for $12. My belly is much happier post-Park City-shopping.
Hotel room
There was a jacuzzi in the room! My hubby loves me. That was the one thing he looked for when room shopping. Guy knows a way to this girl's heart.
Laughter
Oh there was so much of it! I truly love my husband. As hectic as our lives have been (and as hormonal as I've been) we have forgotten to take the time to just enjoy each other. This weekend was just what we needed to remember that pre-nugget-craziness we actually liked each other!
(Weird how pregnancy wipes that from memory!)
Saturday we drove to Salt Lake and went to the Hogle Zoo
Along with these wonderful people:
Our wonderful friends the Ribao's.
The zoo was a blast. Emmalee loved all the animals, but she seemed to get the most excited about the snakes and bugs. What a cutie pah-tootie.
And of course, just like every other three year old, once you start taking pictures she just wants more and more. But don't worry, we don't mind a bit, because she is so stinkin' cute!
Besides, she has the greatest smile!
And, what can we say - she loves us! We are pretty much her favorites.
It was a great weekend getaway. Fun for us to go back to the Hogle Zoo, where it all unofficially began. Who knew this female gorilla would end up being so amazing?!
