august i made the trip once again to utah, this time with a heavily sedated sister by my side [she'd had some last minute minor surgery and was undriveable, but entertaining none the less] and a mom in a caravan. it was quite the trip. and do i even have to tell you that it was all about the food? we did the old standbys: guru's, zupas, costa vida [where we excited at the same time the football team was entering. what a parade of men! made the mistake of calling my dad to relay the news and he nearly cried at the missed opportunity] and a new favorite: pizzeria 712. i'm sure everyone has already eaten here, but i moved just as it was getting big, so i'm still a newbie. the food was seriously amazing. i had to keep reminding myself i was in provo, and not new york. anybody that can make pickled eggs the best thing i ate all week is pretty awesome.
i also had the pleasure and great fortune of seeing the lovely meg in a wonderful production of romeo and juliet in the park. everyone did a great job and it was so fun to be outside. putting shakespeare in the park on my list of things to see.
september i flew with my sister to oahu to check her into college. we had so much fun and met a lot of great people. driving back to the airport in honolulu from laie, where the school is, was so beautiful. it felt a little bit like being in the jungles on LOST. and how cool is it that the hawaii 5-0 reboot is being filmed in honolulu? more on that later. here's some proof that i was really in hawaii:
temple beach. not as amazing as the beaches down in waikiki and honolulu, but surprisingly empty and peaceful.
the laie temple.
these plants were all over the island and i couldn't get over how much they looked like little birds!
me and mallory on the beach.
we went to the evening show at the Polynesian Cultural Center and even though it's a little expensive, i highly recommend it.
mal's dorm.
i need to start planning my next trip. ideas?

Fun trip!
You should go somewhere cold next, to mix it up :)
Awwww! I went to school there for a semester right before my mission. I love that place!! I worked at the PCC and when I saw all your pics I got really nostalgic. That place makes DisneyWorld look like the saddest place on earth.
You've had some fun travels!! We had a great trip to Mexico... maybe you should head there next for some cheap sunshine.
wow- you have been all over!!! ps- i heart pizzeria 712 and i may have had a few fantasies about it lately... sounds like you have had some good times. ps- i have been in the mood to make a few dozen rolls, and then hoard them. ;) fall always makes me miss dc + you.
