Christmas in SLC

I never know what to get Dave for Christmas, so I usually plan a trip to go stay in SLC. This year I booked some massages for both of us and they were amazing. After our massages we headed to our hotel to check-in. We stayed at the Little America which was really nice!! Later that night we had a reservation at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. Dave has been wanting to go here for a really long time and we found out that because of the economy the one in SLC is closing in January, so we decided to hit it up before it closed. It was really yummy. I had lobster bisque, a filet steak that was SO YUMMY, with potatoes and spinach, and Dave had scallops, with a filet steak, with potatoes and spinach. We got a free dessert to share, and decided on the caramelized banana cream pie. It was really yummy as well. After dinner we wanted to go to temple square but decided it was way too cold and windy. We decided to go back to the room and go swimming. The hotel has an indoor/outdoor pool (see picture) and it was really fun to swim inside and then under a sheet to the outdoor in the freezing cold, yet the pool was really warm. The next morning we took advantage of the workout room before blowing our workout at the really good breakfast buffet at the hotel. Before going home we decided to stop by the Gateway. That trip was soon ruined by the BLOWING wind pelting our faces. We stayed for about 10 minutes before deciding just to head home before the storm got worse. All in all we had a really fun trip.

Fun I love little getaways! Even if they are not very far, it's just nice to mix things up a bit.
