Just thought I'd share a few pictures of our AMAZING weekend in Utah. Jonathan's mom and brother, Albert, came to keep Benjamin - which was WONDERFUL! He went to the park pretty much everyday, they played toys all day, watched Conference, and even went on a picnic...He had a blast ... and we did too!
We flew out Friday - grabbed our rental car and headed up to Logan to the BYU game - which was LOTS of fun ... especially sneaking our Cafe Rio into the game - which was not too difficult! Did I mention that Jonathan hit some sort of coyote (medium-sized animal in the canyon after the game... luckily not really any major damage to the rental car!)
Then on to our hotel in downtown Salt Lake, a block from Temple Square and the MOST amazing view of the Salt Lake Temple ... not too sure why I didn't get a picture! (Although we did get a picture of the Logan Temple: see above.) Jonathan probably said a hundred times ... isn't this view better than our view in Boston - and of course I did ALWAYS agree that it definitely was - we even saw them turn the lights off on the temple early the next morning.
The weather for the Saturday session was RAINY ... but I did get in to the afternoon session, and Jonathan got into the Priesthood session. Conference was amazing, and I probably cried more during the Saturday afternoon than any other - thank goodness for Jonathan's step-mom who was there with a full supply of tissues for me! It is always such a great feeling to be in the presence of President Monson and the apostles ... and the children's choir was so touching!
We did get to see a good bit of friends and family (including Jonathan's grandparents who actually live in Florida: see below) ... missed some, but excited to hopefully visit them when we are out for skiing in JANUARY -- it will come so fast!
The Sunday sessions were just as good! A few quick visists Sunday evening, then to the hotel for a night's rest - then back on the plane by 6:50 am Monday morning! A HUGE thanks again to Cheri and Albert for keeping Benjamin ... just was I needed for sure!

FUN!!! So glad you guys got to go to conference. Can't wait to see you guys!
Wow, I never thought of going to Utah just for confrence.. that would be amazing, especially with no kids.. What fun!
Wow! Sounds like fun! I'm glad you had a good time. I would LOVE to go to conference one day. :)
What an awesome and fast trip! We're so sad we didn't get to see you guys, but like you said january will be here before we know it! I'm glad that you and Jonathan had a fun little weekend get-away!
You guys look great, and it looks like you had a great time! How fabulous that you got to go on a trip together alone. We're hoping to do that at least once while we're here in Germany....the real difficulty will be getting someone to come over here who is willing to watch our kids for a few days, rather than go sight-seeing.
What a fun trip, Peach!!! So fun to see pictures of you and your husband and your cute little boy, so glad you found me!!!
