Since moving to UT I have been somewhat of a social hermit. My social circle has consisted of my parents, the Watkins, and my co-workers. I'll be the first to admit these are some high quality people but there's something to be said for having some friends your own (relative) age. A few weekends ago, my favorite ex-New Yorkers who now live in SLC told me about an impromtu trip to Moab and invited me to come along. I'm never one to pass up on some red dirt and arches so I packed my bags (and tents, and camp chairs, and headlamp, etc...) and joined for a weekend of good company and warm weather. Needless to say, the trip did not disappoint and on our return to the North we began making a "to do" list of sorts for the summer. Here's a small taste of what we've planned:
- Drive-In Movie
- Baseball Game
- Diamond Fork Hot Pots
- Yellowstone or Yosemite Trip
- Havasupai Trip
- Hiking
- Camping
- Fishing
- Visit Antelope Island
- Rodeo
- etc.
That's not even half the list... I view it as a foolproof way to get the most possible fun into every spare minute with no "what should we do this weekend?" crap. Good news is, so far it's working. This weekend we went to the Drive-In movies and saw Super 8(ok I only saw about two thirds of it because I fell asleep) and we went to a Bees game that lasted 12 innings. After the baseball game there were fireworks. That's right fireworks weren't even on our list and we got to see them, it was like an unexpected 2 for 1 bonus. What an awesome weekend. The next one can't come soon enough...
