A Weekend Away

We knew we couldn't do much, but we really wanted to get away for a 'mini' honeymoon. There is a small town about an hour and a half away from here called Lava Hot Springs. They have natural hot springs pools to of 3 different temperatures. We stayed at the Home Hotel where they had the hot springs water in the rooms and it was a very nice place to stay. Here are some pictures of our room... 

We left Friday night and had gotten there earlier then we expected so we were able to go out to eat. Then Saturday morning we walked around the town explored. 

There was a cool machine in the museum that you put a penny in and it told you your fortune! In the top right corner is a picture of me wearing earnings that Peter bought me at this cool trading post store that had lots of interesting things. The middle picture is us with our SQUARE ice-cream cones. After exploring the town we went and got a professional massage and it was so amazing and relaxing(: 

After the massage we met up with my parents because they were headed back to Salt Lake City and to my dad's truck so they could head out on the road. We met them at the free-way exit of Lava Hot Springs (they drove our car there with the dogs) and left the car parked at the truck stop and headed to Salt Lake City. We decided to stay the night in Salt Lake City (with patches) and my parents paid for a room for us. Of course we had to stop at In-N-Out, since there are none in Idaho and I missed it. haha Then we dropped them at the truck, which they drove to the hotel parking lot. In the morning we met them at the hotel's complimentary breakfast before they headed off. 

Sunday we decided to have some fun before we headed home. 

Here are some pictures from the Living Planet Aquarium and yes those are matching In-N-Out shirts lol. We saw lots of cool animals. My favorite were the otters, they were lots of fun to watch swim and climb around. We also saw stingrays, seahorse, penguins, and lots of other cool looking fish. 

After the Aquarium we headed over to the Hogle Zoo. It was such a nice a sunny day, but we didn't stay too long because it was super crowded and plus we didn't want to leave Patches out in the car too long. We both got hats and we also got patches a toy. 

Patches loving his elephant. I also got a monkey and giraffe,
but those are mine not for him to chew up, 

As a last-minute thing we thought it would be fun to have cool shirts to wear around the Zoo! So we made a quick Wal-Mart stop and they didn't turn out perfect, but they were still cute and fun to wear around. 

It was a really fun and relaxing weekend and I was really grateful to be able to do something.
