I usually bring a toiletry bag, but this time consolidated everything in to my carry on so that we didn’t have to check anything. That helped to skip the Southwest check-in line; the line for security was long enough.
We found our gate and settled in to wait for Chris to arrive and then for our flight at 2:45 pm. As we were waiting to board, Misha passed by me and stuck out her tongue. The people around me joked that she wouldn’t likely be saving me a seat. I responded, “Funny thing, I don’t even know her!” They all laughed. The flight was uneventful except for the lady sitting next to us that just wreaked of garlic. Not my favorite smell on someone!
We picked up our rental car in Salt Lake City and proceeded toward Lehi to our hotel to check in and drop off bags. The Hilton Garden Inn at Lehi was in a brand new location and all the roads around it were not fully functioning. We weren’t sure we were even going to find it our way to the hotel entrance!
We did arrive and found that our room with its two beds would not allow Amy to bunk with us when she arrived on Friday afternoon. We were in a quandary since my brother’s had no room at their places and finally ended up just getting another room to share. While it was an extra expense, it was nice to have the girls sharing a space and Chris and I in our own space.
We quickly headed off toward Provo for an evening at the BYU Homecoming Spectacular, stopping for a quick dinner at Costa Vida. My parents were joining us, but since we only had a sedan, Mitch had to drop them off at the Marriott Center. We all enjoyed the performance with Colbie Caillat and David Archuleta.
