These girls can shop!

I told my husband this was like getting hit by a car and going to the funnest Heaven E.VER! Bart than said, "Oh Great - so that means that me and the kids aren't in that heaven" - oops my bad - but this was a very fun FUN trip thanks to a very supportive husband who let me go in the first place!!

Rod and Sue had planned this trip for us and given it to us as a Christmas gift so we were all excited for months to go to Utah and just shop shop shop! (Which is literally what we did)

While we were gone, we should have eaten a total of nine meals. We literally only stopped to eat three times - we were too excited to be bothered by food. I will say though that when we did take a break to eat- it was a good one!
Before we left for the aiport!



We were given a "little" spending cash and we sure put it to good use!

I was just in awe of each little boutique and store we stepped into!

We stopped the first night at Cafe Rio and loved every bite!
I made the girls go walking with me at 10:30 that night and we probably only worked off a couple bites!

Friday we went to Swiss Days in Midway - I had to get a photo with the Swiss Day girls - they were too cute!
We laughed as we heard a girl talking on her cell phone telling her husband to meet her at the Relief Society booth - Only in Utah!My little Sister Meg met us at Swiss Days and we couldn't help but get their yummy scones with homemade jam... and honey... and cinnamon sugar - totally calorie free!



One of my favorite stores is Dear Lizzie!

We found quite a load of Halloween stuff




One of my "must-stops" - the Provo Bakery for their sugar cookies!!!

At the airport on the way home, I saw Marci Freeman - I only recognized her because of her mom's blog - she is so cute and check out that darling baby!
I think this perfectly sums up our trip - Sue's bag came off the conveyor belt with this tag attached to it! "HEAVY - Bend your knees!"
Rochelle and I were at Walmart at Midnight the night before buying extra luggage just to cart our "finds" back home!
Rod picked us up at the aiprort and handed us each a Welcome Back card! It was so sweet and he also mentioned that we should do this more than once a year - I couldn't agree with him more!
Thank you to Rod and Sue for making this amazing trip possible!
Our sis-in-law Jeanne will have to join in on the fun next time!

Your blog is so much fun to catch up on but I always feel like I need to take notes on the sweet things you do! You should make a list of all the stores you love and post it for those of us who don't know your secret spots!
