Escargot....

Jeff and I took a little get-a-way trip to Vernal this weekend to try and find a place for us to live. My parents are so wonderful and were able to come and watch our kids so we could have a night away. We had a very nice and relaxing time as a couple. I think we almost forgot how nice it is. :) We were able to look around at some rental properties but didn't really find anything yet. We stayed at the Landmark Inn bed and breakfast and went to the Vernal temple the next morning. It was very nice. It was good to be able to just drive around and look around and get the feel of the area.
We got home Saturday evening and had a nice restful sunday. After school on Monday Jeff and I had a great opportunity to go and be chaperones to the French class at the High school. We went by bus down to Salt Lake to the La Caille Restaurant ( http://www.lacaille.com/) . It is a very expensive ($100/plate) French restaurant that is nestled back in the foothills and is absolutly beautiful. Any student that wanted to go had to pay $30 each, but Jeff and I got to eat for free. It was amazing. We even had escargot (snails)!!!!! (They actually weren't that bad) After a 5 course meal we were able to go and walk around the grounds. They have their own vinyard and a bunch of just free range chickens, peacocks, geese. I'll say it again.....It was an amazing (and probably once-in-a-lifetime) experience.
