No Photos~

The laptop with all my photos on is having problems turning on. I really think blogging should consist of photos....so I dont feel like blogging now. Because really, reading a book without pictures is kind of boring, so is blogging!



Oh well~ here we go!



In November Scott and I got the chance to go on a trip alone. Yes without the girly girls. We spent 2 nights in Chicago, 1 day at Notre Dame and 1 day in Boston. First of all Chicago is the friendliest big city Ive ever been too. We had a fabulous time there. We met up with a college roommate of mine and also one of my childhood friends. My roommate Myndee (former SUU basketball star!) took us to Pizzanos. Their pizza is to die for! I now crave it weekly! The crust of this pie was so yummy....that I am planning my next day trip to Chicago, just to eat it again. Then she took us to Portillos for a cake shake. A vanilla shake with a whole piece of chocolate cake blended to perfection. I took 3 sips and was in heaven.



The following day we drove to South Bend, Indiana. They say if you are a football fan you have to watch a game at Notre Dame. It doesn't matter who you are cheering for, it is an experience of a life time. We weren't disappointed. Well we lost....but the staff and Notre Dame fans made up for that. In fact, one ND fan apologized for the win and told me how cute i looked in my hat and Utah jewelery. Ü how sweet is that? We were welcomed by so many people. It was a life changing experienc. I am thinking of converting to catholicism....okay not really. We drove back to Chicago that night and met with my childhood friend Margaret Meli. She took us to the John Hancock building. From the 50th something floor you have a great view of the city. We chatted and caught up with each other over the next couple of hours. She still looks the same....beautiful as ever!.

The next day we headed to Boston. We had a 9 hour layover in the airport and took advantage of that by spending the day walking the Freedom Trail. Lunch in Little Italy was .....wow!.... some of the best food I have ever eaten! No joke! We had a fantastic waitress who directed us to a local bakery. We stood in line for 1/2 before we made our way inside. Fresh cannolis and other fabulous Italian treats awaited us. yummo! We were able to see The Old North Church, Paul Reveres house, possible mobsters (lol~no really !), Faniuel Hall~ this is where the meetings prior to the Boston tea party were held. The building is still in use today. JFK gave a speech here as well as John Kerry. We had a great time together walking around the cobblestone streets, too bad scott had a hurt ankle. Thanks sweetie for enduring all that pain just for me. Ü

We made it home the next day after a stop in Las Vegas. Minus the Utes losing, we had a fabulous trip, maybe even our favorite trip of the year. Ü
