Denver Colorado

Over the weekend Steve and I took a trip to Denver. The army provides marriage retreats from time to time with all expenses paid. Of course we jumped at the opportunity! We stayed in downtown Denver, at the Brown Palace Inn and Spa. While we were there we walked along 16th Street. This street is closed off to all car traffic. It has lots of great shopping and fun things to see. We got into a Rockies baseball game for 7 dollars (we were sitting in $35 seats...yes we got the tickets from a scalper) They had one of the best firework shows I have ever seen after the game. We also went and saw the Denver Temple. Its pretty small but still very pretty. They had us in some classes most of Saturday. What they taught was was great and Steve and I both walked away from it with some very good information.

This was the first time for me to ever leave Sabrinna over night. I was so worried!!! She did wonderful and I think I missed her more then she missed me. Over all Steve and I had a great time and really enjoyed being able to get away by ourselves for a few days.

Utah State Fair

Last night we went to the Utah State Fair. We had a good time walking around and seeing all the different vendors and displays. They had some beautiful quilts displayed and I got some ideas for our baby. Steve had fun going on the Rollo Plane ride. He was kind of sick afterwords and I ended up driving home. Sabrinna had a great time riding the horses and seeing all the different animals. They had brought in some Bengal Tigers that put on a very impressive show. For my first time experience at the state fair I felt it was a lot of fun!
