weekend with Susu

This past weekend, we enjoyed a whirl-wind visit from Davis' mom (Susu). It was fun to finally show her around our new place and area. Davis and his mom are very similar so much of our activities revolved around food. (well food, conversation, and exploring) No complaints here, I am a lover of all things food. (I am sure there are some food exceptions but generally ALL things food!) Davis and I have often said our travels revolve around food.

Friday, we had a late night dinner of Indian food. So delicious. After dinner, we stayed up late sitting in the living room catching up. Catching up is always good. Especially when we haven't been together since last Thanksgiving.

Saturday, we got an early start of breakfast outside at a local bakery. It was so good. I decided Friday night to give up the primal diet for the weekend. It was an excellent decision.

We checked out Temple Square for the flowers and then strolled around City Creek Mall. It was a lovely morning.

Every Saturday and Sunday from August to Mid-October, one of the local ski places has an Oktoberfest. Since Davis and his mom both lived in Germany, this was a perfect activity. The weather in the mountains was cooler than the valley. We each drank beer, ate german food, and listened to Polka.

We were way too full from beer and food and really have dinner. Instead, we got some appetizers from Trader Joes for an evening meal. We sat on the front porch and watched the sun set while we ate.

Sunday morning, Susu was able to attend New Song church with us and meet some of our friends and worship God corporately. After church we ate at Red Iguana, the best Mexican food literally ever. I can't back up that claim, but it is really good. We spent the afternoon at Red Butte Botanical Gardens.

After the gardens, I had to head into work. Davis got some quality time with his mother that evening. Early Monday morning, Susu headed home and we continued into the next work week.

Thank you for visiting! Sorry we aren't good at taking pictures :)
