Weekend Extravaganza!

Just a few days ago my manager told me that I didn't need to come into work this Saturday because they scheduled me too many days in a row, so with both Saturday and Sunday off Ben and I decided to be spontaneous. We drove up to Flagstaff to get us more in the Christmas spirit! There was a lot of pine trees and snow on the ground! We found a cheap hotel, went to dinner at a place called Charley's that was a old restored mansion, got peppermint bark and other sweets at the local chocolate store, then went to the local community play "The best Christmas Pageant ever", then we went and saw the million lights at Little America, we then stayed up late playing cards so so so fun! I am so glad Ben likes to do the same kind of stuff I do!








Ben keeps telling me he is the artistic one in the family after taking pictures like the one below.... ??


Ben's cute snowman



We then traveled up to the Grand Canyon! It was breathtaking! 












Now we are back at home, Ben is studying, I'm blogging, school and work tomorrow. Until next time....

  9. Hey chelsea, Jen (griffiths) romney here. I have a blog too, I'll add you to my list! These pictures are great. Jared is in medical school right now so while it would be amazing to do weekend trips we are broke as a joke. But someday!! So jealous. Also, your thanksgiving costumes killed me! I think that would be an azming family tradition...esepcially with little indians and pilgirms running around.
