AND....we stay another day

In theory, we were going to start driving home on Tuesday, so I could work Wednesday night without dying. But the thought of getting in the car again so soon, or leaving the gorgeous weather, killed me. So I called and got the night off work.
So we had the whole day to play even though Bridget had to work.
Our plan was to go to the Salt Lake temple since neither of us had ever been, but it was closed for cleaning starting, oh yeah, today. Bountiful was the closest temple so we went there instead.
But first we went to temple square to get a copy of Jonmark's patriarchal blessing, which his mailing address had caused to be sent back 3 different times. We pretty much walked the entire square to get there even though we realized later we had parked pretty much right next to the library where it was. Who knew?
And really, who cared? Temple square was gorgeous, the flowers were beautiful, and it was so nice just to walk around. We took pictures of each other just for fun....

And then, off to Bountiful! We were halfway to the temple before we realized we hadn't yet bought a white shirt for Jonmark so we made a quick detour to Ross for a shirt and two smashing ties. The weather was just a little overcast and oh so perfect. All the little neighborhoods on the way to the temple were so picturesque. The temple itself was so beautiful and nice, too. There is the most gorgeous little atrium when you first walk in from the parking lot with a little tree and flowers and is so beautiful and serene. We got done right as the sun was setting and with the mountains and the lake it was absolutely breathtaking. And one of those scenes that you just know a camera isn't going to do justice. So you'll just have to imagine. Or go there.
Bridget was waiting for us for dinner when we were heading back, but I had to make a quick pit stop.
See, I used to be a waitress at a place called Winger's. I have a lot of fun memories from this place, and I'm still convinced they make the best wings in the world. And I had seen one on the way to the temple, we ran in, ordered 5 wings and 2 chicken fingers with creamy buffalo, snapped a picture, and headed home.
Jonmark agreed they are the best wings ever, too! Whoo-hoo!

That night was dinner at Easy Street. Easy Street is a cute little restaurant downtown. We ate downstairs where a guy played piano and everything was amazing.
We had shrimp cocktail and crab legs for appetizers, delicious salmon, and chicken with figs for dinner. Afterwards, the regular piano player was done, and suddenly a super sexy guy rolled over to the piano and started to play. And basically, it was amazing, too.
