Fun Friday

We were watching Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives on the Food Network a while back and they featured a barbecue place in Salt Lake called Pat's BBQ.


It looked really good so right then I decided I would take Fez there and surprise him. He loves meat and it would be a perfect date. I took that opportunity on Friday night and oh what a good idea it was! The food was delicious and they give you such big portions of meat that even Fez couldn't finish his!

Eating the yummy ribs at Pat's BBQ
Neither of us could finish and there was so much food left, but we rode trax (best way to travel downtown) and were on our way to the Planetarium to see a show, so we couldn't exactly bring it with us. So Fez had the awesome idea to take it to the homeless lady that's always on the corner of the temple by the conference center. She's there all the time and would be bound to want some food! So we did. She was there, but someone had our idea already! We gave it to her anyway and she was grateful. But on the opposite corner we saw a homeless man that we could have given it to. Darn it! We talked to him for a minute anyway and found out his name is Elmer and her name is Carol. If you ever see them, especially Elmer, please say HI. Just like with anyone else, a simple smile or "Hello" can brighten someone's day.

Carol's feast!
(and maybe Elmer's if she decided to share)

We walked to the Planetarium, played with gadgets in the shop, read up on the planets vs. Earth, and saw Space Station 3D. It was pretty cool seeing how they assembled the Inernational Space Station and the fun things they get to do because of no gravity. That would be fun, but I did decide that I could never be an astronaut because I am 1) not smart enough and 2) way too afraid of not being able to get back to the space station if I were to float off. SCARY!!!

Being cool at the Planetarium

If you're looking for some DELICIOUS check out Pat's BBQ. You won't be disappointed. And if you want a good time, go the Planetarium. There is tons of interesting stuff there!

Oh, and don't forget to invite us too.

Holy cow! Who knew married life could be so fun? All us single folk think you just disappear for a while when you get married. Um, yeah...

ANYWAY, Fez wants to get ice cream at gateway for old times sake. Maybe that crazy man will be there again.
