Trip to Zion

We went to Provo this past weekend...Saturday through Wednesday. Like any trip, but especially to Provo, it was fattening and fun. Derrick was recruiting for Kohl's, and I tagged along. He worked, I shopped. We got into town just in time to catch the Homecoming game, which was fa-reezing, but it didn't snow or rain like we thought it would so all was good. And we won. Double bonus.

Highlights, by category:

FOOD:
  • Tucano's
  • Sonic (x2)
  • Burger Supreme
  • Teriyaki Styx
  • Cafe Rio
  • Sconecutter
  • Wingshak
  • Jamba Juice
PEOPLE:
  • Gardner Family, All Around Incredible Family who spoils us silly
  • Scott, whose place we crashed for two nights
  • Antony, who lost to me in bowling
  • Maika, old roomie extraordinaire
  • Chris, First-time Chicago Marathoner Champion
  • Hannah & Johanna, past Laurels now BYU freshmen
  • Gerardo, newly engaged fellow beaner friend who I met in a random class
  • Spencer and Nikki, New Parents to adorable Miles
  • Derrick's dad, Grandma, and cousins in Salt Lake
SHOPPING:
  • Deseret Book (Hooray for Lion House Rolls!)
  • Church Distribution Center (Books)
  • The Quilted Bear (Seriously, Utahns are just so much more creative than midwesterners)
  • BYU Bookstore (Baby BYU cheerleader outfit!! Too cute!!!)
Overall, it was a fab trip. I've decided that Provo is an excellent place to visit, but I don't think I'd live there if I weren't a student.







Till next time, Provo!

It was so fun seeing you guys! You are the cutest pregnant girl, and I know I said I'll never tell pregnant girls that (only because I never believed it myself when I was prego), but there's just something about being pregnant and noticing it from the outside. You're beautiful.

Wish I could have been there. Luv the cougar nose!!

Who took that awesome pic of you in the Cougar Eat? Must be some stud.

Yeah, I just used the word stud.

Little Ms Karen, you hardly have a belly! Where is the baby? You look really good and I am so glad you guys had fun. To bad you didn't have warmer weather though.

Yeah, Provo is a good place to visit. We always hit the Creamery, Los Hermanos and Training Table. I'm jealous you got to see a game--cute nose!

Good to see the Cougar nose back in action. It was definitely missed here in Seattle.

Karen, I found your blog through Scott's blog. And because I constantly stalk Derrick online.

Anyway, I'm personally offended that the Wingshak comes in second to last on your Food List - behind the Sconecutter! Please tell me you put the list together chronologically.

That's all. I like wings.

Oh, and Derrick looks great in football pants.
