Currently: Enjoying a laid back weekend after a great Fourth of July that included poolside popsicles, lots of watermelon, and thunderstorms!
How did I weekend this weekend?
Well I accidentally stumbled into the latest SLC spot, Granary Row.
You can tell they are trying really hard to make this a place where all the cool kids will want to go.
But I think it’s working.
The containers are shops and at the end you can see all the food trucks gathered there.
At least I very much enjoyed it. Can’t speak for the cool kids of course ;)
Everything is colorful!
And mobile.
Cute little bows? Headbands? Fun prints? I love being the target demographic.
Plus they grow plants in kid pools. Which is almost fun enough that it doesn’t remind me of how I’m such a plant killer lately. The community garden stuff seems good (Probably because I’m in no way the primary caretaker… I’ve only been by once this month, but I’m trying to remedy this.) , but the work plants are very much struggling.
I mean look at this yummy meal I had courtesy of Off the Grid. Have I mentioned I’m a sucker for food trucks? And that they are half the attraction here? On Saturday some of the truck’s I saw included the Grilled Cheese Truck, a hot/frozen chocolate truck, Mom’s, the Little Blue Bistro, and a few taco trucks.
This was the Awesome Con Queso (A sandwich with waffles as bread!) with a side of smashed potato. So. Good.
I can’t wait to go when there is some entertainment present.
Look at all that stage. Just waiting.
And on a completely non-granary note, I also saw Much Ado About Nothing. It was pretty entertaining (If you’re a Joss Whedon fan you’ll be very happy with the cast).
Currently: enjoying Master Chef
If you’ve talked to me during the last five days you may have noticed I have new summer love… this cutie:
Sadly, I haven’t had a bike since I lived in Texas.
Salt Lake is pretty bike friendly. I’m looking forward to exploring the city this way. So far I really do love it. It’s got 7 gears and a nice ride to it.
I’ve already made some good memories with this little ride. The first time I went out for a ride a girl yelled out of her car window, “I love your bike! Where did you get it?”
Of course, I also had to get one of these:
When I bought this the cashier said, “Wait, this is for biking? When you brought this up I thought you were doing roller derby or something.” Hahahaha. I’m afraid I’m not that hardcore yet.
He also said my helmet was so bright people would probably get distracted and run into me instead. Little did he realize I was already driving around a yellow and pink cruiser; brightness was not an deterrent.
Let the good summer times continue :)
Currently: wishing all the dads out there a happy father’s day. Especially my amazing Dad!
