We kicked off the weekend in Brigham City to meet up with some of my favorite people, Chels and Em. I miss those two, and many others, like crazy and wish we still lived on the same block! We've come a long way since our days in Kampus Korner...ones that will never be forgotten.
The dates
The girls
Justin planned a little getaway to Salt Lake on Saturday. I had no idea we were going anywhere until Friday night. I was so surprised when he told me that we were going to the Grand America. I have always wanted to stay there. This hotel is overwhelmingly gorgeous!
On Saturday morning we woke up and headed down to Park City to start the day with a little shopping at the famous PC outlets. He totally gets me. I spent the majority of my time grabbing adorable spring clothes in the J Crew Outlet, while Justin opted for biking gear at Pearl Izumi. You can guess who spent more. Hint: white bag.
After an afternoon of shopping we headed to Salt Lake and checked in to the Grand America Hotel. So gorgeous! We checked out the place then headed to Zupa's for dinner. He scored points all weekend! When we got back there was an amazing jazz band that was playing near the lobby which we enjoyed for a while. I wanted to get up and slow dance but there was no chance of that with this guy.
The Grand America pool was probably the most glamourous pool I've ever been to. When have you ever seen chandeliers in the pool area? I felt like I should have worn an elaborate bathing suit or something.
We came back to our room with chocolate gifts and a turned down bed. Royal treatment, I tell ya!
Sunday morning at the Grand America = Sunday Brunch
Sunday Brunch is SO delicious! We filled ourselves with crepes, omelets, fruit tarts, crab legs, shrimp, sushi, french toast, croissants, cheesecake. Let's just say we ate all the calories allowed for the day by 11:00 am. SO worth it though. I can't wait to go back!
The view from our balcony. I didn't want to leave. Our stay at the Grand America was so fun!
Grand America Lobby. The perfect finish to a great weekend! I have always wanted to stay at the Grand America, it reminds me of the New York Plaza. A definite place to stay on my bucket list. We had so much fun just hanging out together. Thanks to my wonderful husband who filled this weekend with my favorite things!
Wait, is it really Monday tomorrow?
