Mom's Visit

A few weeks ago, my mom came and visited us.  It was awesome.  She spent like 5 full days with just me (and Ben too, but mostly me).  If you know my mom at all, you know it’s rare to get time alone with her, so I felt pretty dang spoiled while she was here.  We went shopping, ate yummy food and just had fun.  Luckily, I got a few pictures while she was here, so here’s a brief overview of our week. 

The first day she was here, we went to Tucanos (after she came in for a cleaning at my school).  Tucanos is DELICIOUS.  Ben had a free birthday meal, since his birthday is this month, so we took advantage of that and ate an awesome meal there.  Afterwards, we walked around the Riverwoods and looked at some of the shops there.  Here’s Ben & I at the toy store with really cute hats on.  Thanks for the cute pic mom!  Haha

Afterwards, we went back to elementary school and spent the rest of the night at the arcade - the nickelcade to be specific.  We played video games, skee ball, and lots of other dorky games.  Here’s Ben & mom playing some space game.  I scored the jackpot the first two times I played this that night – yeah, be impressed.

On Wednesday, mom came to school to finish her cleaning and she brought lunch to me after.  Once I was finished with classes, she took me to work and met most of my coworkers.  Since I was stuck there the rest of the night, she went out with Ben. 

On Thursday, I had a little break from school, so we decided to go to lunch.  We went to this crepe place in Provo, and it was delicious.  We had to take pictures of our food because they looked so good, and tasted just as good!  We had a southwest chicken crepe as well as two dessert ones, one that was called the Break Up.  That one was so good, I think it would make a break up feel better!

Friday, I had the whole day off, so it was great.  We ran errands, went shopping and spend the day together.  We finished it off with Texas Roadhouse for dinner and some Modern Family episodes when we got home.  It was a nice, relaxing day spent out and about in Provo.  Haha.  Oh Provo…

Saturday, mom had her flight back home, so we spend part of the day in Salt Lake.  We went to City Creek and looked around, ate Kneaders for lunch (which was pretty dang good) and topped it all off with some fudge from the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. We took lots of pictures this day, so here are some of the cuter ones!

It was a really fun week.   I’m so glad that I got to spend so much time with my mom, since I don’t get to see her as much as everyone else does.  I can’t wait for another visit – maybe next time dad will come too! =]]
