Trip to Utah

Jon got Labor day weekend off so we decided it would be nice to get out of the house. We packed up and took off. Of course, this was 10 bajillion times easier now with the new car! Click here if you missed that post. Anyways, the pups enjoyed the car trip too, they just slept most the way & in turn it was much more enjoyable for us as well!


Okay so last Christmas my parents got Jon and I an Ikea gift card. Finally on this last trip to Utah we got to go to Ikea! I wish I had some pictures to show you of some of the stuff we got, but I don't. I will, however, show you some pics when I finally get our bedroom decorated--it may be awhile. I got a big long mirror to hang above the bed, a duvet cover, blanket, and a couple other little knick knacky things.

We hung out with the fam. Did lots of eating & Relaxed. Mission accomplished.

Oh yeah...When we finished shopping at Ikea we ate at their little cafeteria thing. This is what Jon ate:


Raw Fish...he said he liked it. I tried it...it wasn't as bad as I thought, but I definitely wouldn't eat a plateful of it. I played it safe with my Swedish Meatballs:


P.S. We got 26 mpg out of the Green Machine! Not bad.

The Green Machine

Our first new car (ever)....Wahoo!!

08' Honda Element--Yes, I know it looks like a box & it's green as can be, but it's practical okay?

Us & Our Toy

Front Shot

Jon likes the backseat.

MY car!

We have been driving oldies for 3 years now, so we feel like we kinda deserve it. We also wanted to get something SAFE! Also, coming from an old car makes you appreciate the small things like: COLD air conditioning, automatic windows & locks, cupholders, power steering, keyless entry, etc...
