Christmas in July

For Christmas Heidi gave all her daughters in law a trip to Park City with $100 to spend at the Tanger Outlet Mall. This was the start of a new tradition. This will be fun to look forward to in the upcoming years.

Friday (July 20) night we all headed up to Park City after work. We found this Restaurant called Blue Sushi. Mom, Emily and I had tried sushi before but didn't really enjoy the experience. But we all decided to be brave and step out of our comfort zone. Mom and Em each ordered a roll and I ordered a salad and Tay ordered Pad Tai. Then we all shared. The sushi rolls Mom and Em ordered came with Soy Paper instead of Seaweed. We agreed that the seaweed was part of the reason our past experiences with Sushi haven't been all that great. So for the first time we actually enjoyed it. I can't wait to go to a Sushi Restaurant again to try some more stuff (no seaweed though).

For Dessert we ordered three different ones... because we couldn't decide. And being the little piglets we are... we DEVOURED them. They too were delicious. We all enjoyed our dinner WAY too much. Our stomachs were hating us for all the food we ate.

 After dinner we headed to the condo. The rest of the night we played card games, joked, laughed, snacked on popcorn and skittles (see I told you we are piglets) and stayed up late enjoying the freedom from life and it's responsibilities.

The next morning we all got up (Tay and Em a little later than Mom and I) and got ready for our big shopping day. First things first. BREAKFAST. At Squatters. And it was Amazing. We went from uncomfortable hungry to uncomfortably full in no time (I'm going to have to to some extra sit ups to work off all the food we consumed...but it was worth it).

After that we got our shopping ON!

 The whole day was just so nice. We weren't in any hurry. I loved that part because I feel like I'm always rushing everywhere I go. So to take our time in each store was quite nice.  But unfortunately the day went by WAY too fast. I felt like we needed an extra day. Guess that goes to show we were having too much fun.

Here's to a much needed girls trip. Thank you Heidi for our great Christmas present. We all love and adore you. Can't wait till next year!
