We try to make a trip every year to see Ben and Emily and hang out with them in California. After several years, it’s turned into a bit of a tradition. Here are some of the posts on past trips:

This year was no exception, though this particular trip was a little extra special because on it we celebrated our 6 year anniversary!
Happy anniversary babe! I love you!
The girls really liked Ben and Emily. Ben in particular was really great with the girls and they really liked playing with him.
On Saturday, Ben and Emily took the girls and Kathryn and headed up to San Francisco for an awesome getaway day together. We ate lunch at the Indonesian restaurant Borobudur. We new that we’d be having some Indonesian people stay with us for the World Folk Fest the next week and we wanted to get a taste of Indonesian food. We looked in Utah but there was absolutely none. However, the incredibly diverse San Francisco didn’t let us down and delivered with a rare and highly rated Indonesian restaurant. We got the Rijsttafel which is basically a family style sampler of the most popular dishes. It was terrific! If you never get a chance to eat Indonesian food, that’s probably okay. It has a lot in common with Thai food, which is quite ubiquitous.
After our scrumptious lunch, we headed over to the Orpheum theater for a long awaited and much anticipated showing of Hamilton! It was oh so good! Both of us had listened to the soundtrack quite extensively, and it was so much fun to see the live performance and the fantastic acting and the personality and emotion the actors put into the performance. Wow! What a fun experience, and a really cool theater!
We really enjoyed our visit. Thank you Ben and Emily for being such great hosts for us!
