We spent Saturday night downtown at the gateway. It was a fun night out on the town.
We had dinner at Applebees. Ash wanted to taste everyone's drinks to make sure her mango frozen lemonade was, in fact, the right choice.
Ash and I couldn't decide what we wanted so I ordered chicken and three cheese penne pasta and Ash ordered an Asian chicken salad and we shared. Both were delicious.
After dinner we caught a show at the imax theater in the planetarium. We watched, Space Junk in 3D. The 3D graphics were really cool and the documentary itself was really interesting. Jackson brought some of his allowance money so he could buy a geode he's had his eye on since our last visit.
It got pretty chilly but we had fun walking around and checking out our favorite stores. Ashleigh got her first pair of TOMS, which she has wanted for quite some time. She even helped pay for part of them. For every pair of shoes TOMS sells, they provide a second pair of shoes for a child in need somewhere in the world. I think it's a great company.
We saw all sorts of goodies but all got Starbucks for dessert instead and it was sooooo good.
Unfortunately for us, the mall closed around the same time as the Jazz game got out across the street so getting out of the underground parking took over a half hour. Four stories under concrete parking levels will certainly interfere with cell phone reception and radio signals. It was almost a game to stay in spots where we could still get the radio. Ashleigh tried to convince me to let her ride on the roof of the car since we were moving so slowly. Yeah right! Even stuck underground was pretty entertaining though.. and the Starbucks didn't hurt either!
