Valentines Day 2009

This year was the best Valentines that Mark and I have had together! We have always been so busy with work or school that we didn't really get to celebrate it until it was almost over. But since Valentines was on a Saturday this year I suggested that we spend Friday night in a hotel somewhere. So, thanks to Mark working his Priceline magic we got a room at the Sheraton Hotel in Salt Lake for $35.00! They just remodeled all of their rooms so our room was super nice too! When we checked in they gave him two coupons for a breakfast buffet at the nice restaurant located in the hotel. Sweet! Later that night Mark and I went and got into the hot tub while Carter took a nap in his stroller. (We took Carter with us because we needed some time together as a family). When we got back to our room Carter and I went swimming in the mini swimming pool in our room (aka the tub). He loved it! The next day we ate our yummy breakfast at the buffet then headed towards the Gateway. Mark wanted to go to Dicks and I wanted to take Carter to the Discovery Gateway. My friend works at the Discovery Gateway so we ended up getting in for free ($17.00 value!) Carter loved it and he cried when I tried to move him from one playstation to the next.

After our economical overnight date in Salt Lake we drove home. Waiting for us at home were Mark's dad and stepmom. We went to dinner with them at Jeremiah's. It wasn't Red Lobster like I was hoping for.. but it was still really good. What a nice weekend!
