Eating out

One of my favorite parts of going back to the states is getting to eat at my favorite places. This trip was no different.

The things I was looking forward to the most:

Panda Express
Cold Stone
Happy Sumo
Costa Vida
Cafe Rio
Dairy Queen
Papa John's

I got to eat at all of those places and more. Believe me, my waistline can prove it. Here are pictures of a few of our meal-times.

We joined Erin and Bump for Sushi at the Happy Sumo in Salt Lake:

We celebrated Grandma B's 35th (ahem) birthday at a place I had never visited before, Buca de Beppo. This place was a riot. It felt like I had just walked into a restaurant in downtown Rome, complete with a life-sized bust of the Pope on display. Good food, great company. I feel so blessed to have been married into such a fantastic family! Happy Birthday Grandma B:

Erick's brother Rick owns a Costa Vida restaurant in Lee's Summit, Missouri. Though we couldn't travel to Missouri, we thought we'd show our loyalty by eating at one here in Utah. Yummy!
