Mom & Daughter Weekend

My mom and I used to go on little mini vacations when I was younger. Just the two of us. We would usually go during the summer right before school started up again and go school shopping. We'd go to Park City a lot or sometimes St. George. Regardless of where we went, we had a lot of fun. I'm convinced that these trips brought us closer together and is part of the reason that we're such good friends.

We hadn't been on one of our trips for awhile. We decided we needed one. So we went to Salt Lake for a night. We left Saturday morning. We had lunch and went shopping at the Gateway. Then we decided to go get pedicures. My mom did not enjoy hers (long story) but I really enjoyed mine. We then went back to our hotel (The Little America - which we loved!!) ordered some dinner there at the restaurant at the hotel and went to our room, ate and watched a movie. It was a very relaxing day.

The next morning we went across the street from our hotel to the Grand America where they have an amazing buffet brunch. We ate 'till we were sick! They had little stations where chefs would cook you something right there. They were making omelets, crepes, pancakes and lots of other things. They had crab legs, shrimp, prime rib, fish and sooo many deserts. Seriously, we ate so much and it was so good.

After rolling out of the buffet, we then had to go buy Kaylee her souvenirs since we missed her so much. And then we went for a drive.

I forgot to take my camera with us so I didn't get any pictures (not that my mom would have let me take any of her anyway) but we had such a great time and I'm glad that we were able to do this. I've missed our trips and the fun we have on them. My mom is one of my very best friends and I can only hope that Kaylee and I will have a relationship similar to the one I have with my mom. I can't wait until Kaylee is old enough to go and enjoy it with us because we are making this an annual outing again!
