Our little getaway :)

Now that we have caught you up to last week, we can tell you about some of the fun things we did the past few days. To kick off our week we went to the Health department and got all of our shots for our trip to Africa. I ended up with 4 shots and Jer got 3, needless to say our arms were sore for a few days. And I think I'm sick now because of one of those shots. Awesome.

The real fun happened when we took off on Thursday after work and headed up to Logan to stay the night. For those who haven't heard about this, there is a great deal called the Cache Valley Getaway. Basically, you get a cheap rate on a room in Logan and a gift certificate for dinner for 2. We did this last year and loved it. Here's the link for those that would like to learn more (or you can ask us): http://www.getawaypackage.com/.

We got a room at Anniversary Inn again and loved it! We loved it last year too, but we tried out a new room this time and it was a lot of fun. We booked the Biker Roadhouse room, you can see pictures below. Last year we stayed in the King Arthur suite, which is nice. It was a great trip for us to get away from work and relax for a day. The next day we checked out and did an endowment session at the Logan Temple, then went and used our dinner certificate at Hamilton's. Highly recommended! We got the Early Bird special with our certificate since it was about 3pm when we went there, but that worked out because we got drinks, soup/salad, a very tasty steak, and desert. Yum. Worth going there again. Anyway, on to the pictures.

We walked into our room and there was a pinball machine and a Harley. We made it a goal to break 100 million points on pinball before we checked out. Jer managed it before I did and got the highest score too. Guess she likes pinball. :)



Me, obviously, sitting on the Harley in the foyer of our room.


Jer, playing more pinball. In her defense, at least she didn't get up in the middle of the night and play the stupid game to try and get the high score. I, however...

Next to the pinball room was our pool table room. We played each other a few times and had a good time, we even learned how to use the slight tilt to the bottom right corner to our advantage.

After walking through the pool table room you get to the bed and bath. Very comfy bed and we loved the bath area. The tub was big and the shower, well, I'll devote a little more attention to the shower in a minute.

Also in the bed area was our snack area, and we had our own soda fountain! We got hot dogs, chips, sparkling cider, and cheesecake for dinner in the room. We decided we just wanted to relax in the room and use our gift certificates for dinner the next day. We watched the Red Sox/Rays game 5 up until the 6th inning, but turned it off because it wasn't very exciting. I turned the game back on later that night just to check the score, and watched the Sox score the winning run after being down 7 to 0.

I thought this was funny, never saw one before. This is a little toaster specifically designed to cook hot dogs and toast hot dog buns. It's called, I love this, the Hot Diggity Dogger.

Okay, now for the shower. I love this shower. Looking at it, I was a little confused on what everything was. But once I turned it on...

It was like my own personal car wash! I always thought it would be fun to go through an actual car wash, minus the scalding hot, pressurized water and the scratchy bristles. This was great! It has the waterfall head at the top and then there are the two side heads you can turn on and aim around, but if that isn't enough, you also have one of the removable heads. I definitely have to get me a shower like this!

That was our fun Logan trip for Thursday and Friday. Next post we'll tell you about Saturday and our Halloween costume party with the magician that performed for us. :)
