I like vacations!

So, I haven't updated anything recently because we have been busy going on vacations. We figured after the baby, traveling will be more difficult. So we decided to get away:

Vacation #1: Since Alicia, Jaclyn's sister, has worked at Marriott Hotel in Provo as a Banquet server, she gets great discounts when staying at Marriotts. She wanted to go somewhere fun, so we suggested Park City. Good scenery: good food, shopping galore, and things to do. We went up after Church on Sunday and stayed that night (Labor Day) and came up Monday afternoon. We had a blast!

We had planned a picnic for Sunday lunch, but the weather decided to rain. We found a pavillion to hide under until the rain stopped and we were done. That night we drove through the old part of town and watched a movie back at the hotel. That night, Alicia and I also had an intense pillow fight. I'll post that later.

Monday came, and we got up early to max out our time. First, Alicia, Hannah (Alicia's friend) and I went down the Alpine Slide. It was fun! I was racing around the corners so fast!! I got down so fast, Jaclyn didn't have time to take my picture. Alicia and Hannah weren't so lucky. They got stuck behind little kids and had slow sleds. It was fun, not to mention randomly meeting Uncle Duane and Aunt Vivian, and my cousin Cassie while I was waiting outside the restroom.

That afternoon, we spent our time and money at the Outlet mall. We found a few things for our son, and even more stuff for Jaclyn and me. I got new 2 pairs of jeans, and 3 shirts. I feel like its the first day of school all over again. On the way home from Park City, I treated the girls out to Granny Milkshakes. Poor Alicia, though--her Peanut Butter, Peanut Butter Cup was too much. Sorry. All and all it was a great vacation.

Vacation #2: Our next weekend (this past weekend), we went to Las Vegas to visit family one last time before the baby comes and to celebrate Jaclyn's dad's birthday. It was great. He treated us out to dinner at his favorite restaurant: VooDoo Lounge at the Rio. They had some pretty interesting foods: fried frog legs. I had to try it. It tasted like watered-down chicken, straight from the pond. Lee (Jaclyn's dad) said it was because the way they cooked the legs. Something I can cross off my list now.

Saturday, we had a mini baby shower and got some more stuff from Jaclyn's Aunts, Grandma and cousins. We spent the rest of the weekend hanging out with Jaclyn's mom and sisters. Abby was so excited and loved every minute of it. We watched High School Musical 2 (better music and dancing than acting), played Apples-to-Apples and Boggle, and ate wonderful Taco Salad. It went way too fast. It's nice to dream and think everyday could be a vacation.

But would it really be a vacation then?
