Our Graduationmoon

For a graduation present, our great friends gave us "a day, and night, and a day" during which they would tend LG. So, we planned a getaway! Adam booked us a room downtown at the Oxford Suites. Here is a picture of our great parking spot:

First, we went to a matinee of Star Trek. We liked it quite a bit, despite the excessive explosions. 

After checking into our hotel, we embarked on a small adventure to find out how to get to the Melting Pot (on the second floor above Red Robin).  Thanks to Adam's eagle scout skills and/or intuition, we found it easily.

Here is the pot. We had a lot of great food such as: spinach artichoke dip with bread and vegetables, meats with many dipping sauces, and bananas foster (with fruit, and desserts to dip....yum).

The next day, we slept in, which was so nice! Although we love our 2 year old human alarm clock, it was a treat to wake up on our own time. 

One of the best parts of the graduationmoon was our horseback riding that afternoon. I've always wanted to go, and this time I got my chance. My horse's name is Harvey, and Adam's is named Pete. 

As you can see, it was beautiful on our trail ride. 

Harvey had to scratch his nose a couple of times along the way, including while

 taking this next picture.  

Adam and I both had sore left knees after getting off our horses. Probably due to our lack of proper horse-riding technique:)

We had a great time over those 28 hours. Any type of "moon" is always savored.
