Mini honeymoon, weekend adventures

Well finals week is almost over and we are making it through. Last weekend we wanted to do something together that was extremely cheap (free would be nice) and fun. So after much deliberation we went to Willard Bay to see the lights. On the way there we figured we'd need some hot cocoa so we stopped in at the flying J in Brigham city only to be disappointed - no hot cocoa machine in sight. Then we googled 7-11 and finally found it only to discover another disappointment - Hot Cocoa Machine out of order. As a last resort we went to the Chevron and were pleasantly surprised. They had a hot cocoa maker and it was delicious. Maybe even better than 7-11 though not as delicious as QT in Georgia. I learned a very valuable lesson - the saying "Oh thank heaven for Seven Eleven" is no longer true. And I'm going to have to eliminate that phrase from my vocabulary. Eventually we got on the freeway and headed to willard bay and then missed it. Turned around got there and discovered it wasnt' free. They wanted 9 bucks! 9 bucks! and I bet they didn't even have free hot cocoa. We were enraged so we turned around and departed from thence. Then on the way home we thought it would be fun to rent WALL-E from redbox for a buck. But when we got into the canyon we hit a wall of red taillights

from a head on collision that just happened. Bored, we took some pictures. So our adventure was delayed even longer. We finally got home and watched Wall-e. Kind of a hum-ho movie. There's no talking til halfway through the movie and then the plot isn't very enthralling. I'm glad we only spent a buck.

Saturday, however, was a delightful adventure. The manufacturing company in Rock Springs invited us down for free steak and fun with them. The food was delicious and afterwards they gave us a set of heavy duty aluminum LED lights. They are small but really cool. Then the plant manager asked if we had a hotel for the night. We didn't and he offered to pay for a hotel for us. We took advantage of the offer and stayed in the Super 8. So that was our mini honeymoon because we won't be going there for a week like we thought. On the way there we saw the huge windmills.

I was telling Sara how the last time I went up I saw a truck carrying one of the arms for the windmills and just as I said it a truck came by with the huge arm. Total we saw 4 of them. Man they are big.
