Yew-taw.

I had a fun {quick} trip to Utah. The Michaelson/Radin concert with Bret & his nice BF Jim was so great {& they made me a delicious breakfast the morning after}. I had lunch with Kelli & Cole at Zoom in Park City on Friday, & was able to meet Kellie & J for dinner in SLC Saturday night {please move back to Manhattan!}. And of course- I was able to spend a lot of time with my cute sisters & sister-in-law. It was fun to eat breakfast at Magleby's Fresh {I'm sure I ate an entire loaf of bread}, browse through Target {a luxury for a Manhattanite}, drive through beautiful Provo Canyon & enjoy my favorite pork salad at Cafe Rio. To top it off, I slept better than I have in months {literally}. Nice.
.
Utah is a quirky place, likely deserving of its very own post. Case in point: writing a check at a jewelry store & the guy telling me that he didn't need to see my ID because he "trusted me" {what?!}, the man at the Banana Republic outlet in Park City asking me if my job required that I wear all black {a telling statement on my typical color of choice}, & an odd man at a gas station asking me out of the blue if I was trying to start a new fashion trend {I was wearing skinny jeans tucked into brown kneehigh boots- not exactly revolutionary}. Without fail, it always catches me off guard how nice & friendly people are. How odd. :)
.
It was a perfect trip & a perfect length of time {did I mention the weather was a flawless 55-60 degrees until late Saturday afternoon? So nice.}. I'm glad I could see Elizabeth & Ryan's new home, meet Joanna's new boyfriend & see good friends. But after not seeing Mike for a week, I'm happy to be back in New York. It's nice to be home.

I just posted that picture on my blog (stolen from your Facebook account).. before I checked in here. Thanks and I hope you don't mind. It was great to catch up! You're so right about Utah, although I LOVE the change to nice/friendly.

It was great to see you and have you as our first house guest. Hopefully, we will hang out with you next time we're in NYC...maybe...if you're lucky. Maybe I should run the NYC marathon.

Yay! Sounds like you had a great time with friends and fam. Wish you could have hopped over to Seattle too...boo hoo. All the girls and Hudson look like they are doing well!
