Our 2nd Anniversary!

Hello All! Ok, so I am super late at posting this, but I decided that its better late than never. It was our Second anniversary more than a week ago, and its been a wonderful two years! We decided this year to take each other shopping for anniversary presents. We went to the corn maze at Thanksgiving Point and got lost many times. I kept trying to take the shortcuts(I'm not sure all the shortcuts we took were supposed to be shortcuts) and Tyler tried to go the "real" way. There were points along the way that helped you know you were getting somewhere in the right direction. We needed to find numbers 6-10, somehow we never found number 7 or number 10, but at the end we finally came out of the entrance to the Kiddie Maze. Don't ask us how we did that, because we have no idea:)
For dinner we decided to try a new restaurant called La Vigna. Its an Italian place in American Fork. Tt was pretty fancy and too expensive to go any old time, but it was good for an anniversary. I think that was the best waitress we have ever had, we didn't tell her it was our anniversary but she seemed to have some sense, or she treats everyone that way. She was very nice and helpful and at the end when we said we were too full for dessert, she brought free creme brulee that was "compliments of the chef"! We really loved it! I know this is a random fact and most of you already know, but I just wanted to say that there is snow on the mountains and it is beautiful, I need to go take a scenic drive before the fall colors are gone.

At Last, Washington DC!



Sorry guys, it took us a while to get this posted, but we finally got our pictures up from DC. While we were there we stayed in a Springhill Suites Marriott for a hundred dollars a night! Which is awesome because the suites there were $250 a night, but we got a really good deal because of Tandi and Dave. Between their elite membership and Dave's sweet talking we were able to feel rich for a few nights without having to pay the price.
We saw a lot of cool things(although the Museum of American History was closed until the fall! That should be unlawful.) and I was a total nerd and took tons of pictures. But what can I say? How often do you get a chance to visit DC? We went to Sticky Fingers with Tandi & Dave, and they are right - their desserts are scrumptious! We saw the Museum of Natural History, National Air & Space Museum, Washington Monument, WWII Monument, Lincoln Monument, Arlington Cemetary, the National Mall(which is not a mall, but a bunch of grass and trees, little stands to sell you stuff, and people to sell propaganda), and many other places. But our absolute favorite was the Library of Congress! Of course:)I would have taken a lot more pictures inside the Library of Congress, but most of the time they don't let you take pictures of the coolest stuff. We went through an amazing tour, I think my favorite part was seeing Jefferson's partially restored book collection.
