FALL BREAK!

I LOVE BEING MARRIED

I love that we can go away just because

and that is just what we did for Fall Break
 To this place

Alex and I stayed here on our honeymoon before we went on our cruise. It is the best little bed and breakfast you ever did see.





They even put your name on the door!
and decorate your pillow with utah truffles

It has the cutest little details all over the grounds. Including cake that sits on a glass stand that you can help yourselves to anytime you feel.

The Company was alright too

We came across a paddleboat

So we took a ride in it

As I was lovingly looking over at my husband, I started screaming and freaking out. There was a massive spider on his neck! Alex was freaking out because he had no idea what I was freaking out about until I finally managed to squeak out 'SPIDER!' 

After he successfully got rid of it the swarm came. There were spiders everywhere! So we paddled back lightning fast and ran back inside. Note to self: Check out the abandoned paddle boat before stranding yourself in the middle of a lake.

On our way home we stopped at one of my favourite places in Midway. They sell the best chocolate milk possibly in the world. Oh and Jam! And of course cheese! We got some of everything for our roadtrip home. I told Alex Midway is the only place I would compromise living in Utah for. It reminds me so much of my hometown in Australia! Tiny general store, adorable little houses with horses, Cows as your neighbors... But i married a city boy. He just gave me that 'yes honey' smile and continued driving. :(

Utah in the fall is beautiful. There is every kind of brown green and orange to be seen on the mountains. Alex said it looked like a "bowl of soggy fruit loops". He looks at the world with such romantic eyes.

After we got home we quickly got changed and rushed on up to Salt Lake City to join my sister for her first trip to the temple. She turned 12 a month ago. It was too exciting to miss. I had been inside the baptistry of the Salt Lake City Temple only once before in my life, when I was 16 on a family trip to the US. I had forgotten how beautiful it was inside. 

This is Mariah. She can be kinda cute when she wants to be. 

This is my father mother and bro Myles. Times spent with this bunch are never ever boring. (FACT: my hair was that red once too. And my sister Maryse's still is haha)

After this we headed straight for Wendover! Blasphemous, I know... My justification is that if it helps us bond and work together it cant be all bad right?

On the way we stopped off to check out the salt flats. 

Salt as far as the eye can see! I had to firmly convince Alex not to take off and drive all over them. So he licked them instead. Yeah, I married a clown.

Our fun trip away ended with an extra $100 in our pockets, and empty tank of fuel and a bunch of fun memories. And that ladies and gentleman, is why I love marriage.
