Pioneer Day!

So we had an awesome fun day yesterday! We we're especially happy to both have it off and have no plans or engagements. We had a lot of options though and we tossed them around all day.

First of all, we slept in! What a wonderful thing that is. Then we took tracks to the parade at Liberty Park... well, in that direction. My poor travel planning put us about 8 blocks from the park. So as Chris said it, "We went on a walk together!"
The parade was fun... one Polynesian float took us both back to Hawaii for a mintue. It was nice, then we took another walk and "ended up" on Trax. Which happened to have two police officers on board taking tickets. It was funny to see how many people got off at the next stop to purchase thier tickets they have all "forgotten" to get before they got on.



After the long walks and the sun at the parade, we were both pooped. So we got home, ate some particularly good soup Chris had made and then slept for another few hours. I love Holidays!
When we got up we had to decide what fun things to do next. With renewed energy we wanted to party. We had tossed around the idea of Lagoon, but thought twice about the price and travel time... so we decided to save some money and then spend it somewhere else. How about... The Mayan?! The Mayan has been recently remodeled and it is really cool. The place has a fun Mayan atmosphere that we both loved. The food was really good too. So good we took most of it home and had seconds later.
After the dinner, since we were at Jordan Commons, we went to the movies. We went and saw "Get Smart" Which was pretty funny. Steve Carrell is best in the Office, but its was still pretty funny... if a little lacking in acting.
After that we spent a nice evening on top of our three story building and watched all the different firework shows. It would have been cool to hike Ensign peak and watch them from there, but we had walked a lot that day already. So we spent a romatic evening listening to my Ipod phone and cuddling. So nice really!
