In June, my mom mentioned that there was going to be a baby shower for my cousin Megan in Salt Lake City on July 20th. She asked if I thought I’d be able to make it. I wasn’t sure I could pull it off but booked a flight just in case.
I’m glad I did because it all worked out! I don’t get to spend much time with my mom’s family anymore so it was a real treat to be able to have some kid-free hours with them.
I flew up late Friday afternoon . . . my mom picked me up at the airport and we went to the Red Butte for dinner. Delicious! It’s been a family favorite for decades. After, we drove up Emigration Canyon to my Aunt Linda’s house to visit for a bit. I hadn’t been up there in so long – it was great to see her beautiful house! Kent had a fridge full of desserts for us to sample. We headed to the hotel later that night.
Saturday was quite a day! We made a few stops on the way to Megan’s shower . . . Babinski’s Baby Boutique and Trolley Square for Pottery Barn and Pottery Barn Kids. And then on to Michelle’s house for the shower.
The shower was lovely. This is Megan’s first baby . . . a boy! It was great to help a little and sit and chat and celebrate this new baby coming any day now.
Backing up a bit . . . Sam had to work on Friday so she had to take a later flight than me on Friday night. Vegas had a nasty storm for about 15 minutes and of course that was when Sam’s plane was coming in to Vegas and got re-routed to Phoenix for weather. So she was stuck in the Vegas airport for HOURS. She finally made it to Salt Lake, rented this beauty & got to Amanda’s house at 3:30am. I’m glad she made it!
Even though I live super close to my mom and sisters, we don’t do anything with just us all that often. So the rest of the afternoon Sam, my mom and I did some shopping at Fashion Place and Ikea. It was nice to spend time with them, too! Sam left us around dinner time for a college friends reunion dinner and my mom and I went to Tai Pan and then headed to Sea Salt, a restaurant in Salt Lake. Linda, Kent & James met us there. It’s my favorite restaurant in SLC right now . . . absolutely delicious! And once again, great company.
On Sunday, my mom and I drove back to Vegas. It was a quick weekend but well worth it. Had a great time with family without the kiddos. Thanks Wes!
