Rodizios



Our raspberry lemonades! Mmmm!

Rodizio's is a Brazilian grill restaurant. As you sit, the waiters bring around varying meats on skewers and slice you a piece. It's like a meat-fest! They do have a salad bar to go along with it, but you mostly need to save room for the meat! And there was some delicious tasting meat!! They also bring around cheese rolls and grilled pineapple too. But my favorite thing there is the Brazilian lemonade--love that stuff!! I looked up a recipe and it looks like something I could do! You definitely don't go home hungry from that place!!

Blue Man Group

The Blue Man Group came to Salt Lake City, so my nephew and his wife came with me to the show! We were on the 2nd row in the "splash" zone---yes there is a splash zone because paints and other liquid stuffs come flying off the stage. So we got to wear lovely plastic-wrap ponchos over us for protection. Luckily, I did not get splashed! This group uses their facial features and captions to entertain---no speaking! It's amazing how much you can convey without speaking! They do a variety of skits and musical numbers. Funny show!! Plus their audience interaction is awesome! And the show finale is like a big party with toilet paper, confetti, streamers shooting down at you while you try to hit these huge balls bouncing around in the audience! New Year's Eve parties should have that much fun!! Had a great time!

ABBAmania

If you around in the 70s(and even if you were not), ABBA was one of the great bands. They were from Sweden. And they usually wore outrageous colorful outfits(at least now we think that---back then it was cool)! They had lots of catchy tunes and more recently they made a broadway musical called MammaMia using just ABBA songs(they made the songs follow a fun story)! Well now a pseudo-ABBA tours the world recreating the ABBA hit songs! So Jenn and I went to St. George to ABBAmania! I tried to dress as 70s-ish as I could with my flare sleeves and hair tied back with a scarf--if I could have found some reasonably priced knee-boots, I would have worn those too! The pseudo-ABBA group didn't dress too crazy though--in fact the girls almost looked in style since many of the 70s styles have come back right now. I was a bit worried about the fun-factor of the crowd seeing all the white-haired people around me--but luckily there's enough of the younger generation that know ABBA too---so we had a fun time dancing and singing to the songs! We even had our concert lighter app on our phones to sway back and forth on slower songs! Even though I lost my voice from singing and screaming for a few hours, it was well worth it!!

Falltime in Zion's

I had a chance to do the Riverwalk at Zion's National Park at the beginning of November. Over Veteran's Day weekend, it's free to get into the park. So my friend Jenn and I took advantage of that! The red, yellow and orange leaves on the trees were absolutely gorgeous. On top of that we had the sound of river to walk beside! Plus we had the awesome canyon walls as a background! And being in the off-season, there were not too many crowds to deal with! Got some great pictures! What a great way to enjoy the God's beauties!
