On Thursday, April 9th we check out of our townhouse in Desert Color. It was a great stay! Our townhouse was great! The townhouse we stayed at was called "Laguna Beach" and it had four bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, a huge kitchen and living room area, a hot tub on the balcony, and kayaks for us to use at the lagoon. We were walking distance to both the lagoon and the other pool in the resort. My only complaints are that the walls are very thin (I could hear the guests in the other townhome) and there is no cell service in the community (my phone was literally in SOS the entire time we were there). The townhouse does have good Wifi which was nice since I had some work to do on my computer while I was there.
Thanks mom and dad for booking the townhouse and for a great spring break!
After we checked out of the townhouse, mom and dad drove back to Vegas to catch their flight back home to Cincinnati. I drove north with Luke, Andie, Porter, and Kenna (thanks for letting me hitch a ride!). Before we left town we went to In-n-Out for lunch! Can you believe that I had been in the West for a week and had not eaten In-n-Out yet?!
[Hamburger, no onions, add pickles; fry well; and a chocolate shake please!]
We then made the long drive from St George to Spanish Fork. I was so amazed at how much St George had grown since I'd been there last, but the rest of Utah is growing too. Cedar City (my old stomping grounds) is massive and there is a lot of new construction going up along the freeway.
That evening we met up with Andie's sister, Alysse, and her family at the park. It was such a beautiful night! We chatted, played games, and it was so fun to catch up!
The next day (Friday, April 10th) we met up with Chasten and Alysse and their kids on the BYU campus. Our first stop was the Cannon Center for some cafeteria food! The food was actually really good AND they had unlimited BYU Creamery chocolate milk!
After lunch Chasten took us on a tour of campus in his fancy golf cart!
My freshman year I lived in Heritage Halls, which were right behind the BYU Creamery. Years ago they knocked down the old Heritage buildings and built new ones and FINALLY they knocked down the old Creamery and built a new one. It's huge and actually has a lot of indoor and outdoor seating!
Chasten brought me a bunch of BYU SWAG! He even got shirts, stickers, and hats for Theo and Josh. That was so sweet!
The tour was so much fun! We got to see a bunch of the buildings where I had classes and there was a lot of new construction too. I love the BYU campus. It's so pretty!
Thanks again to Chasten for giving us a fancy tour and for the SWAG!
We hung out for the rest of the day and that night we went to a birthday party at Andie's sister's (Ashlyn) house. We stay up way too late playing card and dice games, but it was a lot of fun!
On Saturday (April 11th) I went and had lunch with my BFF and BYU Freshman roommate, Lacey. It was so fun to see her!
That night we went to CHOM for dinner 😋
On Sunday (April 12th) I went and got some In-n-Out before meeting up with Luke, Andie, Porter, and Kenna.
When I got to their condo Luke was at Urgent Care. The swelling around his ankle was getting worse and the bruising was spreading. While we waited for an update from Luke, Andie and I watched YouTube videos of all the cool rooms you can book at the Walt Disney World Resorts.
Luke finally called and gave us the news. His ankle was broken. Luckily, it doesn't look like he will need surgery, but he will have to wear a boot for 4-6 weeks. Bummer! Sorry brother!
That afternoon we went to Andie's brother's (Rick) house and had dinner with the entire Smith family. I always love coming to Utah and spending my Sunday nights with the Smith family!
Monday morning I checked out of my Airbnb and Luke took me to the airport. I always miss my family and friends when I leave Utah. But I also miss these mountains! Did you know that Illinois is the second flattest state?! Just behind Florida! 😠ðŸ˜
Thanks so much to Luke and Andie for hanging out with me! I'll see you guys in 430 days!
