Jared and I decided we needed some time away from everything for a weekend. Just take some to reconnect a little bit away from family, friends, work . . . and just spend time together. So we booked a room at La Quinta in Salt Lake and headed down. For dinner we stopped at Outback Steakhouse in Layton which we'd only been to once before. It is soo yummy! Jared is in love with their baked potatoes. They are probably so horrible for you but they are delicious!
The next day we decided to head over to Hogle Zoo. Which I've never been to any other time than summer so going in March was a little chilly. I guess they're building an entire new section at one end of the zoo. So they didn't have the polar bears or penguins since they're going to be moving them into the new section. We're gonna have to go back when they get it done! We ended up spending three hours there anyway and had a lot of fun.
Finally, we ended our day by going and spending a little bit of time at the Clark Planetarium. We were too late to make any of the good films they have there so we just walked around looking at all their displays and pictures. We also spent almost an hour trying to defeat Level 4 on the games they have by the planet display. We were bound and determined! In the end, we were finally successful. Our reward . . . a picture of space. :) So worth it!
By far one of our favorite parts about the zoo were the all the tigers. They are so huge and so beautiful! We loved them.
We were lucky enough to be able to watch these two in a big race! The little one, who we were cheering for, won!
My other most favorite part was the elephants. They were so cute! We watched them for almost a half hour because the zoo had the radio blasting and all three elephants were dancing in time to the music. It was so awesome!
Meet Mr. Grumpy Pants. He did not move or blink I swear for like 15 minutes. Even with all the little kids smashed up against his window, nothing fazed him.
I think Jared might be a little bigger than the natives who made these little dwellings were. I'm just glad he didn't get stuck.
This is Jared's "determined" face.
And of course . . . our amazing reward. :)
