20th Anniversary Get-A-Way

20 years of marriage is a pretty good accomplishment these days, so we wanted to celebrate together. Terry had been wanting to see the Journey, Foriegner, Night Ranger concert in Salt Lake and it just happen to be around our anniversary date so we planned our getaway for Salt Lake. Terry picked me up from work in Hurricane at noon and we drove off excited to have a fun relaxing weekend together. We arrived at the Rio Tinto stadium bought our tickets and then headed to Sizzler (his pick) for dinner (it actually was yummy). Then headed over a little early to the arena to check it out and people watch (my choice).

The Rio Tinto Stadium (and Terry of course).

They had Night Ranger come out at 8:00 and sing a couple of songs to get the crowd hyped up. Then there was 1/2 hr break before Foreigner came on, they did about a 45 min show and then there was a 15 min break before Journey. This picture is the break between Night Ranger and Foreigner.

Checking home to see if everyone got to be where they needed to be (even though we are taking a break the rest of the family is still running around like crazy people, thanks mom and dad for getting them everywhere).

Terry seeing what its like to be a defensive player like Jadyn.

On Fri. we slept in, and then went to the Salt Lake Temple to do a live session. I had never done one before and it was sooo neat. It definitly kept my interest the whole time.

Isn't it beautiful.

After the temple we walked through the grounds (and all the wedding parties) and decided to eat lunch on top of the Joseph Smith Memorial building at a restuarant called "The Garden". Terry got a salad wedge (he loves those things) and a huge hamburger, and I got a very yummy chicken salad croissant with fruit. We just took our time and ate. It was wonderful.

Only part of our view from our table. You could see the whole lower half of the valley from where we sat. The weekend we went was also Pioneer Day Weekend and so I thought a lot of our ancestors that settled Utah for us.

After our spiritual morning. We planned on seeing the exciting Harry Potter 7 conclusion. We drove to the Gateway and walked through a couple shops on our way to the theatre. Then we watched the exciting movie. After the movie we did some more shopping, went back to our hotel changed into more comfortable clothes, and went back to check out temple square. Then we stopped at Cafe Rio for a late night dinner and went back to the hotel to swim at the 24 hour pool.

Getting ready to enjoy the hot tub and quiet of the empty pool.

Just enjoying being with each other.

On Sat. we slept in again and then got up and did some more shopping. Not for us though it was all for the girls soccer and dance supplies. We got Jantzyn her cleats (size 9), shin gaurds and soccer ball. Jadyn new soccer cleats, slips and spankies. Jorrin running socks and sports bras, and Jaicelyn soccer slips.

It was a very fun and relaxing weekend together. I cant wait until our next getaway. Until then, I will just enjoy that fact I have had and will have a best friend for eternity.
Love you Buddy.
