*Hike the "Y"
This one was my item-I had never done this-I know-how DID I graduate from BYU without hiking the "Y?!" My guilt only increased two summers ago, when, as part of a family reunion scavenger hunt in Salt Lake we "hiked" the "U." (Although "hiked" may be the wrong word-you can basically drive to the "U". Hmmm....is there some hidden meaning in the fact that the "U" is so easy to get to, but the "Y" requires quite a bit of effort. Just sayin...)
*Eat curry at the Bombay House
This item was Kent's. Every time we go to Provo, and we drive by the Bombay House, he wants to eat there. The curry was great, and our waiter was an Indian from India complete with a full beard, mustache, turban, and the name "Lucky," really-it was on his name tag!
*Attend a session at the Provo temple
It's so convenient that they have sessions every 20 minutes. Can't wait till the new Provo temple is done. The Provo tabernacle is being converted to a temple. The whole thing is up on stilts right now while they build a basement underneath. It's pretty awesome!
*Take pics at our daughters' apartments
Both our daughters live in apartments that I lived in while at BYU. Kaylee lives in Heritage Halls-Young Hall to be exact. She lives with Mady, who is the daughter of my freshman year roommate Corinne-How cool is that?! Analise lives in Chatham on 9th East. I lived there spring term 1988. I was looking for a place to stay for spring term that year, and a young man by the name of Kent Barlow suggested that I move into Chatham where he lived. I was interested in this boy, and decided that it would either be a very good move or a very bad one-depending on how things went with Mr. Barlow. I finally decided that even if it turned out to be bad, it would only be for the 8 weeks of spring term, and I could endure anything for 8 weeks. 25 years and 6 kids later-I'd say it turned out to be a GRAND idea :)
Other fun things we did in Provo, not necessarily on the list: Eat at Molly's-Yum! Saw the Rembrandt exhibit at the BYU Museum of Art, Easter shopping, dinner at Red Lobster (Someday I AM going to save room for the delicious looking chocolate-filled dessert cookie they have there.) and sleeping, exercising, and relaxing at the Marriott. Happy Spring break to us. (For more info on the rest of our spring break activities see this post from last year-it was basically a "ditto" this year. AND I uploaded some of this year's spring break activities photos to facebook-pretty amazing for me since I never post pics on fb)

| Provo Temple The best I could do-I got an eye-roll for even wanting a picture. Forget about asking a complete stranger to take a picture with Kent and me IN it. (Although I'm sure a nice missionary would have obliged right?) |
