When Ryan's dad told us he was going to be married in Utah this summer, Ryan and I figured it would be a perfect opportunity for a romantic getaway. We booked a room in the Hines Mansion in Provo, where we stayed in the same room that we occupied the night of our wedding! The Library has a secret door that reveals a bathroom and a private exit! There's also a spiral staircase in the room that leads to a private jetted tub on the second floor.
We did lots of this on our weekend away. See Ryan enjoying the bed and breakfast?
We went to Raging Waters where we went on these CRAZY slides. It was so scarey, I only did it once and screamed the entire time.
Just in case they don't look very scarey to you, here's the description straight from the park:
Calling all thrillseekers...Get ready to break the speed limit! Dare to take a vertical plunge from the top of a 70 foot high tower then travel more than 30 mph down a 244 foot long, head-first slide to the bottom. Can you make it over the "hump"?
And honestly, you ride a little tobaggan-like sled down the slide! When you drop down the SEVEN STORIES high slide head first, your stomach and legs separate from the slide so you feel like your doing a handstand. NO JOKE! And Ryan went on the crazy U slide. TWICE!
Seriously, I got out of the pool afterwards and couldn't stop shaking while I watched Ryan go down his INSANE slide again.
We also went up to the canyon where Ryan proposed almost ten years ago. While we got lost and lost our time to find the exact spot, it was still fun to drive through the canyons and relive those memories.
Our final day of the getaway was the wedding of John and Linda. They were married August 21, 2010 in the Ogden Botanical Gardens. Look how happy they are...
