So, the fry sauce was a dead giveaway, was it?
You crazy Utahns. How you came up with the genius that is fry sauce, I will never know. But in all our travels, we have never found its equal.
Though the Husband will not touch the stuff with a ten-foot pole, I, however, could bathe in it. It is the only way to eat deep fried potatoes and I will forever be grateful for its discovery.
But while we were in Utah, we did a lot of fun things.
We took time to smell the roses:
We rode up our beloved mountains on ski lifts and marveled at the view.
Once at the top, we exhaled, sighed, and wondered if there was any place on earth quite as lovely.
That spectacular view was somewhat diminished during our hour-long wait to ride the Alpine Slide. Apparently, the track is quite deadly after a rain and it took several runs for the employees to get it dry enough to let us go down.
I was quite content to wait, even though some in my party were less than patient [cough*the Husband*cough].
One of us jumped from rock to rock. Again and again. And again. And again.
Honestly. All I need is a pair of rocks and this kid could entertain himself all day.
[Note to self: See how exciting the rocks seem when he opens them Christmas morning.]
We (some of us more than others, of course) had really good hair days. Ah, that dry desert air. Does wonders on the humidity-drenched locks that adorn my head.
Please give a moment of silence for my perfect bangs. They will never look so tame again.
And, lord help me, did we eat.
And eat.
And eat some more.
I am ashamed to tell you the number of pounds gained in just ten days' time [cough*five*cough] but it was worth every fat-filled calorie.
Tragically, it will take me about 10 weeks to get it off again, I am sure.
Anyway, thanks for playing along. Courtesy of random-dot-org, the winner is:
Stay tuned tomorrow for a tea party that will make you weep with jealousy...
