music feeds my soul…

(ps: i stole most of these pictures from leesh and kari. but i was there… i promise)

We went on a lot of walks, a great hike up the canyon, ate at Beehive Tea Room, toured Temple Square, and had an awesome BBQ with a lot of friends and family. LOVED having them around…..

We slept in and woke up to sunshine falling on our faces. After a long stroll around the neighborhood and relaxation on the hammock, we officially declared it “Cute Day”. Everything looked cute, we felt cute, our clothes were cute, and we were dying for some cute food. Boys never understand this concept… to them food is just food. But as we were driving around downtown Salt Lake, our only pleas were that whatever we ate be cute. Sometimes I don’t think Utah is capable of producing the aura we were after, but as it usually does, Utah proved us wrong and we found exactly what we were looking for. Beehive Tea Room. Otherwise known as heaven on earth. As we drove by scanning all the buildings, its decorated windows caught our eyes and we knew we just HAD to eat there. So we did, and Aaron and Peter were kind enough to cater to our intense desire for CUTE. Cute tea, cute salads, cute sandwiches, cute chairs, cute atmosphere, cute waitresses. CUTE CUTE CUTE. Not to mention the best chai tea I’ve ever had. As we left, the clouds were pouring and we ran down the sidewalk shrieking and laughing, surely a ridiculous site.

The day continued with lazy reading, a lovely tour of the Capitol Building landscape, and a most fabulous concert performed by the great Ben Kweller May every summer day be this slow and splendid…

1. Einstein Bagels 2. Sunflower Market.

Why do I love Einstein Bagels?
a. It is always delicious
b. free sample cups. so many beverages to “sample”.
c. i worked there in high school, so i already know the best choices
d. ive been severely carb deprived lately, so sinking my teeth into a big juicy toasty bagel was heavenly
e. it’s leesh and i’s tradition. and i love traditions. (aaron came too. thanks for accompanying us, sir)

And what is Sunflower and why is it so great?
a. it’s a big beautiful market full of so much healthy food my brain could explode
b. fruits and veggies are so cheap and delicious. strawberries for 77 cents!!!
c. whenever i leave there i pay less than i anticipate and feel so healthy
d. it’s right around the corner from our house so i can walk there every day
e.they have a ginormous bulk food section with everything you can imagine. next week we’re teaching ourselves how to MAKE hummus. (i threw that in there just for the cool points)

yeah, we're awesome.

It’s so pretty!
