Our fun weekend started off on Friday because Andy had the day off. He didn't have President's Day off since he was flying to Philly for work so he took Friday off instead. We got going early to get my car up to the Honda dealer by 9 am for a 10K mile check-up and then took Andy's car up to Ruth's Diner for breakfast. Now, if you live in Utah and have never experienced Ruth's Diner, you're really missing out. They have the best biscuits in the entire world!! Possibly one of the best things I've ever eaten. All the other food was delicious as well and the kids ate great which always makes a meal out even more fun. We then took the kids to the children's museum at the Gateway which was showing a special Sesame Street exhibit on the body. It wasn't quite as cool as we expected and was just expensive! The kids weren't that entertained by it but had fun in the rest of the museum. It got past nap-time so we picked up the car and rushed home for naps.
Saturday we did a little shopping at a fantastic place called Steve and Barry's. I'm a little hesitant to tell everyone about this store but it's too good to not share. EVERYTHING IN THE STORE IS $8.98!!! Now that is with a "sale" going on right now, but I think in general nothing is usually over $15 or $20. Sarah Jessica Parker has a clothing line sold here as does Venus Williams. I bought 4 pairs of pants, a jacket and a shirt. Andy got 2 shirts and a pair of pants. We also bought the kids a scarf each and our total bill was $92! It was a lot of fun. On our way home we stopped by a new frozen yogurt place called Red Mango. I got the Fruity Pebbles with Raspberries. It was delicious!
Sunday night we FINALLY had our neighbors over for dinner. It's only taken us 16 months. They are a very busy, young married couple with no kids. We had a great time getting to know them and it turns out that we all get along just lovely. The kids adored them as well and showed off in their usual fashion. We now have plans to have them over to play games or to play the Wii. It's always nice to find new friends.
