Jazz Game

Yesterday Kent and I took a somewhat unexpected trip to Salt Lake. Let me explain. We bought Jazz season tickets for next year and as a bonus, we got this year's playoff tickets. Our plan was to sell the playoff tickets and hopefully make some money to help pay for the season tickets. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) our tickets for last night's game didn't sell. Well, we couldn't just let them go unused! So we got in the car and headed to Salt Lake. We had some theater business to do anyway so it was kind of a business trip! Anyway, we got there early enough to go to dinner, walk around the Gateway for a while and then go to the game. We've been to some good Jazz games but this one had to be the best one by far. The crowd was wild! We felt like we were at a rock concert and our ears didn't stop ringing for about an hour after the game! The first half was good - The Jazz led all the way. Then during the 3rd quarter, the Lakers took the lead most of the quarter and we started to wonder. Then the 4th quarter was completely exciting! The crowd was on their feet most of the quarter because it was back and forth so much. It was a nail biter up to the end and the Jazz beat the Lakers by just 2 points. It was such a fun game to watch! And it was so fun to have a last minute getaway with Kent!

Las Vegas getaway

Last week Kent and I went to Las Vegas for Showest (that's the theater industry trade show). I was so excited to get out of town and especially to get to go somewhere warm. The weather was perfect - mid 70's to low 80's. The trade show itself was good but my biggest interest was some rest and relaxation. Kent and I walked the trade show floor one day and then the next day when Kent wanted to go back and look through again, he insisted that I stay at the condo and relax by the pool. Okay, twist my arm! It was 80 degrees that day! I sat by the pool reading a book and even taking a nap. After a few hours in the sun (I even got a little sunburned) Kent got back and we went to lunch/dinner. Of course we ate at a few buffets and we got to do some shopping at the outlet malls. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end and we came home on the day that Idaho Falls got a blizzard. Thank goodness for little getaways like this so I don't go crazy waiting and waiting and waiting for spring to finally come to Idaho!
