Spring Break 2009

Well, it has been a while since I have updated our blog. So here goes.

The week after Easter weekend was Spring Break for my district. I had Wednesday - Friday off. Of course, it didn't seem like Spring Break because it snowed quite heavily on Wednesday. In fact, it was so heavy that they had to remove one of the trees from the front of our condo because it had been "up-rooted".

We decided not to go anywhere on a trip since we had just been to Florida with my drill team. We also had tickets to Wicked. Here we are in front of the Capitol Theater:

It was so good. Even if it was the third time we had seen it! We first saw it in New York. We had front row seats because we won tickets from the ticket lottery. Well, we didn't win, but our new found friends that we met while waiting for the ticket drawing said they would sell us the tickets to Wicked if they won if we would put our names into another drawing for a show at a theater next door and sell those tickets to them if we won. They lived in Brooklyn and had seen the show twice already. Well, we did it, and the second to last name that was called was our friend. I remember looking at Scott and saying, "We are going to Wicked!" And our tickets were only $25 a piece--the souvenir shirt I bought cost more than my ticket! The show was so awesome.

The second time was in California with my drill team. It was good-a different view this time, and a little bit easier to see. This time we were in the balcony on a different side and it was still so cool! I'm so glad I was able to see it again.

Saturday afternoon, we went to my nephew Dallin's birthday party. Here is my sister Emilee helping Dallin open presents.
Dallin was only interested in the new train he had opened. Here is Grandma helping him get it opened so he can play with it.

Scott and I did actually have a small get away to the Zermatt Resort in Midway, Utah. We went up there Friday night after going to Wicked. Here is the main entrance to the hotel:

A closer shot. No we didn't ride it--just went outside to check it out and the bell-boy offered to take a picture or two for us!

We had a great time--just relaxing and sleeping in. We also had some good food while up there. The restaurant there had an Italian buffet on Saturday night that was really good. We were even there with some local celebrities! David Osmond was there and his father, Alan Osmond was also there with their wives. They were at a table with the owner of Zermatt. One of the servers told us that David Osmond had just done a benefit concert somewhere in the area.

Anyway, it was a great Spring Break!
