Utah: A lovely get-away.

Right after I got off work on Friday Sept. 9th I hit the road and started my journey to Utah. I hadn't had a break from my job during summer and I sure was ready for one. Why Utah? My buff (best friend) Allie boo lives there. Last February she got a job oppurtunity down there and packed her bags and went for it. I needed some best friend time. Every day we had sushi and froyo, sometimes twice. It was amazing. I'll sum up my fun little vacation for you.

Since Allie had to work on Saturday I spent the day shopping at South Towne Mall. Now it was only suppose to be about a 10 minute drive, but give me the easiest directions and I always get lost. It took me an hour and a half! Yes, you heard right. In Utah they use the freeway to get from town to town. West freeway, East freeway....CONFUSING. Somehow after so many exits and loops I found it. By then I was ready to do some serious shopping damage. That night we met up with a few of Allie's friends from work and had sushi. We then went out for a night on the town. Total different scene then Boise. Made friends with some guys who owned an escort system HAHAHA. One of the guys, Travis, offered me to work if I were to move down, but he said I looked like a girl who has self respect for myself and is real. Thank you, I take that as a compliment because I do and I am.

Sunday we went to the Gateway Mall. Allie's boyfriend, Robert, came along too. We had sushi there, then froyo, then saw Apollo 18. It was pretty good. It didn't get good ratings but I enjoyed it. After that we walked around Gateway.

During the day they have water shooting up, but at night it was all lit up. Allie told me if I stepped on all the lights a unicorn would gallop down the stairs. I stepped on all the lights and no unicorn showed up :(  Why a unicorn? Well, that's another story i'll have to share sometime :)

Allie doesn't work mondays so guess what we did! We went and had sushi and froyo ( see, I wasn't kidding about having it every day) In Utah their TCBY's are self-served frozen yogurt. YUM YUM! We then went and saw Bridesmaids. That movie was beyond funny, SEE IT!

Tuesday came so fast. Too fast. Before I knew it I was on the road again back home. But I was grateful for the time I had. For all the venting I did, and great advice I got from my buff. She's the best friend I could ever ask for.
