Sunnie and Cozy came into town the weekend of March 28th. Our house was one stop on a long road trip that they had put together. First stop, Los Angeles for the "America's Next Top Model" try-outs (crazy and ridiculous from the sounds of it, but great for the memories). Next stop, our house in sunny SoCal. Third stop, visiting friends in Arizona. Last stop, visiting Grandpa Joe in St. George and then on towards home. Talk about a huge weekend!
They got into town early on Friday afternoon. We went to Ulta and shopped for a bit (Gary ducked into the sports equipment store next door to pass the time). It was nice to do some real girly shopping with my sisters. We headed out to Sushi for dinner. Sushi Yama has a bunch of 50% off rolls, so we all left feeling stuffed but not poor, it was awesome! We hung out at the apartment for a bit and just chatted and caught up and then we went to Peterson's. I guess out post about Peterson's was pretty awesome, because it seems to have peaked every one's interest. We take all of our out of town visitors there.
When we got back we pulled out our queen-sized blow up mattress for them to sleep on (I believe the air mattress is actually larger that Gary's and my temporary IKEA bed). For those of you who have been to our sweet apartment you will understand that the mattress took up the rest of the floor space that we have available. Our living room was just bed and mattress. Kind of like a huge slumber party. Awesome! We watched Batman & Robin, the Batman movie staring George Clooney as Batman/Bruce Wayne. I don't think I had ever watched it before, but it is the most corny Batman I have ever seen! We pretty much decided that we won't be watching it again.
The next day we took Jack to the dog beach. The weather looked okay when we left, but by the time we got to the beach it was windy and chilly, so we didn't stay for long unfortunately. Jack didn't mind, but everyone else was freezing. Of course, as soon as we got a bit more inland the weather was really nice, perfect for driving to Arizona! We ate some lunch and then the girls had to hit the road. Fun visit, short and sweet! Thanks for stopping by ladies!
The next night Sam, Katie and Robbie Grigg came to visit. They were on their way into town to visit Sea World and Disneyland and to celebrate Sam's 30th birthday (Happy Birthday Sam!) They just stopped by for dinner but it was great to see them!
The last time we hung out with them was when we were in Salt Lake for Christmas and we went to their cute new house and watched The Nightmare Before Christmas. Gary had never seen it and we visited so long with them (you know those friends that you just click with and can talk, and talk and talk to FOREVER?) that it was really late by the time we started the movie that at one point I think everyone kind of drifted off. So much for Gary seeing the whole movie, oh well. Maybe next year we will try watching it again.
Anyway, we BBQ'd some chicken (using the apartment's grill for the first time) and had a really yummy dinner with some really great company. What more could you ask for? This time, however, we didn't go to Peterson's. I know, big surprise, huh? Instead we ate peanut M&M's from the Grigg's road trip stash.
They are expecting a new baby very shortly and we can't wait to hear how everyone is doing!
