Countdown continues 4....3....2.....1
We left Vernal early to avoid the 24th of July holiday Parade (Utah holiday). On our way we encountered some lightening it was pretty scarey. We stopped in Park City just before SLC to find fuel as we were on reserve. Park City is the wierdest place and it took us FOREVER to find fuel. We finally found it and then got back on the 40 to ride towards the I80 for SLC just 2 miles down the road just off the highway was fuel!!! oh well LOL so we found the I80 and decided to find some food for lunch. We found Chick-fil-a mmmmmm salad and got the GPS out so we could find John and Leslie's house and found that they were just 2 mins away!!!
We had a wonderful 4 nights with Leslie, Murphy (Golden retriever) and Oliver (Schnauzer) John was away at a conference in Madison Wisconsin. Murphy is a sweetheart who walks around with a tennis ball in his mouth the entire time, sometimes two!!! Ollie is Patrick (John & Leslie's son) & Maggie's dog and at first he was a little excitable nipping at our ankles and such but he did settle down.
We went for a run up near the University and then explored SLC with Leslie on Friday, visiting the cemetry to see the Christmas Box Angel and the Capitol building and Memory Park. After another short run on Saturday morning we visited the massive Farmers Market and bought some fresh produce, new earrings for moi and lunch mmm spicy Jambalaya! On the way there in the car Leslie showed us the mansion two doors down from her house and was telling us about her lovely neighbour who spends half his time in LA and half at this house because he's an actor and she nonchalantly was talking about him and said his name which I didn't really recognise so I asked what show he was on and she says oh a show called Modern Family she lives just down the road from Phil Dunphy!!!!!!!!!!!! I soooo wanted to meet him!!! Then on Sunday we rode up Big Cottonwood Canyon, Emigration Canyon and visited Hogle Zoo. We also caught up with the lovely SLC SOFT group. Debbie Dye organised a birthday cake for me it was really yummy such a lovely surprise. It was so wonderful catching up with Leslie. She spoilt us rotten with great meals each night and birthday cake on our last night.....very sweet.
