Saturday # 51 SWA

Spontaneous Weekend Adventure!!
It begin with a phone call. Jennifer called Amy Friday afternoon, at the spur of the moment, while humming show tunes to herself.
"Hello Sister Smith."
"Well, Heelllo, Sister Dean." (Yes this is how we always address one another.)
"Guess What?"
"What?" (Okay, there may have been some other dialogue, but we're getting to the point here.)
"I was just handed a key to a condo to Eden, Utah!"
"Where the heck is Eden?"
"I have no idea! But it's for tonight only."
"Let's GO! And let's get Samantha to go with us!"





So, we SPONTANEOUSLY made a quick decision and left work as soon as possible to pack our bags. We started our adventure after a lovely dinner at Magelby's Fresh in Springville with friends (thanks Jim!), then dashed to our car and drove 1.5 hours to Eden (Eden is nestled in the quaint mountain glen of Odgen Canyon a popular 2002 Winter Olympic venue).

Even though we arrived at 11:33ish, we stayed awake anxiously engaged in playing "Settler's of Catan" (a strategic game of community building and resource collecting). Our friend Samantha, newbee to the game, skillfully ran us out of Catan! We call for a rematch!



We turned in for a cat nap before our "Saturday o' Fun" really began ("Aahh.. the comfort of a King bed, all to myself," says Jennifer).



After our naps, we awoke bright and early in search of the HOT TUB, while Samantha slept in (smart girl!). However, Jennifer was the only one who indulged in the HOT TUB, because SOMEBODY, "A BODY" forgot her bathing suit and wasn't wiling to soak in her PJ's. Too bad! So sad! (Jennifer wouldn't let me insert the picture of her in the hot tub, even though it was a perfectly decent, not too much skin photo.)



Our attempt to spontaneously jump from the balcony was captured on film. Luckily, there are some stupid yet spontaneous things we just don't follow through with...

BREAKFAST TIME
We left the condo and headed back down the canyon where we spontaneously decided to have breakfast at a little diner called, "The Oaks." We indulged in cheese omelets topped with avocado, sprouts, and the best, gosh, darn salsa this side of.... somewhere. Oh, and did we mention the thick slices of wheat toast? Yummy!




(Please note the Canadian flag in the photo! Our tribute to the 2010 Winter Olympics and foreshadow of events to come...)



We mad-dashed it down the canyon and South on I-15 (of course going the speed limit) to Highland so Amy could arrive at her appointment by noon (see previous Saturday post about Cobble Creek Spa) and that's where we all went our separate ways.

Stay tuned for Saturday #51 part two (individual posts).
