Jud, of course, has been fishing. And fishing. And fishing. Winter has not stopped the obsession. On just about every weekend, he's been out and about looking for that primo ice hole up in the park.
And for the most part, it had been rewarding. We've had a great season for healthy trout dinners. But it looks like winter has got it's hold on us and we are all pretty tired of it. Take this photo that Jud took at the top of Fred's Mountain LAST WEEK!
They had to dig their equipment building out of some pretty deep snow, a few feet of which is recent. I was in Las Vegas for a trade show basking in some incredible sun and 70º plus weather while they were dealing with this stuff!
But we did have some snippets of fun along the way! Spring break found us making our way to Salt Lake for a few days. We decided to hit a few Travel Channel restaurants featured in our favorite shows. That included the Blue Plate, Crown Burgers, and Kobe Restaurant where Man vs. Food featured its very interesting Hellfire Challenge. We didn't partake but we saw a few people try it while we were there. Our own verdict? The Blue Plate in Sugarhouse was awesome combining great food with great local-dive atmosphere. Plus, if EVER we decide to go back to Utah, I have a fondness for that neighborhood that keeps growing every time we go there. Crown Burgers was so-so. So same. So lame. I can't say that there's anything there that is worth repeating and there's we didn't care for the one-free soft-drink refill. Now, Kobe is a luxury to try and try again. Providing you can afford the tab because when you belly up to the bar for the sushi, you'd better be keeping track of what you're ordering because it can add up if you're not paying attention. Luckily, we picked up a Restaurant.com certificate to help with the bill because it would have cost us a fair amount for our order.
Where to next? Well, Jud and I plan to head back to Las Vegas for a long weekend to celebrate our anniversary in June. We could go to one of our condos but Jud has decided to try for a little luxury on the Strip. Should we try the Trump Towers? Planet Hollywood? Bellagio? The new City Center hotels like the Aria or Vdara?
We still have no concrete plans for the Summer break but we've got our sights on a few options. But we'll keep those under wraps until we know for sure. Whatever our choice, it will be a great time for the whole family whether it's a repeat of old places we've been to or new places we haven't.
I was reminded recently not to sweat the small stuff because in the end, it's ALL small stuff. That said, it is good to simply enjoy the process....
