For Sydney's birthday in May, I bought us tickets to see Megan Maroney in Salt Lake City. Tahoe was closer, but tickets were SUPER expensive, and at the time I thought it would be a fun mini vacation. It turned out to be fortuitous, since my father-in-law's services were scheduled for the same day as the Tahoe show. But since we were going to Utah, we were able to keep our plans and then drive over to Colorado for the services. With just a little bit of rearranging it worked out perfectly and I'm really glad we made it happen.
Can you tell I'd been sick and stressing for a week? I look ROUGH.
Syd, on the other hand, was adorable in her pajamas and cowboy boots with her weighted unicorn.
We landed in Utah and immediately went in search of a soda shop.
The first of many. My friend called it "Utah Soda Culture" and I'm here for it. Also? It was so cheap. Two fancy sodas for $8!
We tried to be touristy and went to find Temple Square. The whole area is under renovation and it was underwhelming to say the least.
On Thursday, my friend Amanda met us in the cutest neighborhood and played tour guide for the day. We started the morning thinking Salt Lake City was kind of boring, but after seeing Amanda's sites, we were in love!
Speaking of love. I finished my book on the plane ride and, for the first time ever, hadn't packed a back-up. So our first stop was the Lovebound Library. If I hadn't been traveling, I would've spent so much money here. It was the cutest, and the staff was so friendly and helpful. 100% recommend stopping if you're in the area.
It's not a trip with my middle if we don't end up upside-down.
Then Amanda took us to our first cat cafe. I fell in love with a senior cat named Florida who bit everyone who came in. He was toothless and wearing a bow tie and I'm still obsessed.
The coffees were all cat-themed (obviously) and I, with my full chest, ordered a "extra large meow." Syd is still laughing at me.
Love her! Also love the burgers at Burgertory. If you go, buy a t-shirt. I have few regrets in life, but not buying a Burgertory t-shirt is one of them.
Amanda had asked if we wanted to take a hike while we were there, but we were limited on shoe space (and also last time I visited her she took me to an "easy" Zumba class and I almost died) She comprimised and took us to this look out that gave us an amazing view of the city
After that, we headed back to the hotel to hopefully get a nap and then get ready for our show! Driving by the event center, we saw that they'd already set up the merch booth (outside!) so we were able to swing by and get our t-shirts without lines and without having to hold them during the show. I don't know why more artists don't do this. It was an awesome perk!
Syd was so excited that she got ready HOURS early
I don't know if she could get cuter
Shoutout to my fellow IG moms who jump in to take pictures of each other <3
The line for dirty sodas
Post-show glow :)
One of my unexpected favorites was all the bows on boots. It was the sweetest, girliest vibe and I'm so grateful that I got to be a part of it.
