On October 26th, Scott and I had our 4th anniversary. It seems like it has gone by really fast. We weren't able to take the week off this year because my boss had a big hunt that week. So we took our vacation in August and took a couple of days off for our anniversary. The day of our anniversary, we took Taylor to her baby sitter and headed up to Mulligan's because it was a cold day and they have a heaters on their driving range. Well, the heaters were not on. We were VERY cold. We didn't finish our buckets and headed out to lunch. We ate at Hires Big H. Scott is a big fan of their burgers. After lunch we went bowling at the place where we kind of had our first datish thing. Too long of a story to explain on this post. I won the first round and got a 167. I am pretty sure that is my personal best. Scott won the second one and I think he was around 180 and I was around 140. We actually bowled really well for people who haven't bowled in over a year. We still had some time to kill since Taylor was asleep at the babysitter's so we told her to text us when she woke up and we did a little bit of shopping. That night Scott took Taylor and I to The Cheesecake Factory, the traffic was ridiculous, but so worth it. It was sooo good. I got a BBQ Chicken salad that was big enough to feed 3-5 people and boy oh boy was it tasty. It definitely did not disappoint. Taylor got her first taste of food that isn't mashed. I gave her pieces of banana and avocado, and surprisingly, she ate the avocado better. Scott got fettuccine alfredo that he said was ok, but Scott is very picky. I love that place and I haven't had it for years. I was so glad Scott took me there for our anniversary. He is so sweet.
The following day, the pregnant babysitter told us she couldn't take Taylor because she was just too uncomfortable, which was totally understandable, so Taylor got to play with mom & dad all day. She was such a joy to have with us all day. We got a later start than we hoped because we had Taylor, and we headed up to Salt Lake again. We ate lunch at a diner up some canyon in Salt Lake, I guess they are known for their dinner, so we kind of disappointed. After lunch we headed over to the Salt Lake City cemetery. Yes, we went to a cemetery. All but a few of the prophets were buried there, so we went to see. We had to go to the office of the cemetery and get a map of where the prophets and notable people were buried. It was really interesting and we really enjoyed ourselves. Taylor loved it too, but I think for her it was just exciting to be outside. We were really glad we had a map, because the cemetery was extremely large. We would have never found anything. We spent several hours there even with a map. It was interesting to see that some of the headstones of prophets were really discreet and others were VERY large. President Hinckley's was good size. We would have walked right past President Hunter's if we had not been looking for it. Not far from President Hinckley's headstone, was one that had a really cool poem on it. I guess it was a poem? Scott and I really liked it though. We also saw one headstone that had a free mason's symbol on it. That was pretty cool.
After the cemetery we went to see Brigham Young's headstone, at dinner, and headed home. We had planned to go to Gardner Village, but we ran out of time. We did stop at the corn maze at Thanksgiving Point, but it was dark and cold, so we didn't stay long. Guess we can always go next year when Taylor is a little bit older. f
Overall it was a great anniversary. Even though we didn't have a lot of money to spend. We really enjoyed ourselves. It was great spending time with each other and our super cute daughter. We didn't have to spend loads of money to have a good time together.
