Weekend Get Away

For Christmas this year I bought Jazz tickets for Bryce and booked a room at the Radisson Hotel. It was a much bigger sacrifice for me than just the money since I've never left Brandt for the night before, so I was more than a little anxious about that. The 28th was the big day (also well planned since it was 2 days after my b-day) and totally worth it. We had a nice drive down with hardly any traffic even when we got to Salt Lake (we were worried that it would be a zoo since it was Larry H. Miller's funeral day). Checked into the hotel around 4pm and discovered we would be on the 9th floor-way fancy! Pretty sure we've never been on the 9th floor of anything before! Walked across the street to the game while everyone else was scrambling for a parking spot, found the cutest Williams jersey for Brandt buddy, and still had plenty of time to find our seats. They weren't the greatest, but still so much fun and so exciting to actually be there live. The game was awesome; Brewer especially killed it with all his dunks. I neglected to get many pictures and the couple I did get aren't great, but proof that we were there, I guess. After the game while everyone else was once again scrambling to try to get to their cars and get out of there, we walked back to our hotel and had a nice, quiet, and very yummy dinner at the in-house restaurant. It was so different to have the entire night just to ourselves for a change. Some of the time we actually didn't know what to say to each other since we usually have Brandt for entertainment and subject matter. Sunday morning was relaxed and also very different than trying to shower and get ready for the day with an almost 2 yr old. We once again enjoyed good food at the hotel at their breakfast buffet (free with the whole Jazz packet-- nice!!) I had absolutely the best omelet I have ever had in my entire life and would go back again just for that. Anyway, we discovered that it was a much needed break from "real life" and that it was kind of like dating again since we didn't have to worry about anything but each other. Hopefully we won't wait so long for our next retreat.
