A week after our anniversary, we were able to actual go on our Anniversary date. I had happened to hear about the Parade of Homes going on for 2 weeks this month and convinced Tracy that it would be fun to do. We weren't able to find a sitter during the day, so James came along. With a map in hand and a Chinese lunch from Harmon's we headed out. We had a great time looking at the houses and James did really well with being in and out of the car. We went through half of them in the 6 hours we had.
Here are some pictures we took:
 |
| This one originally was built in 1885 and they revamped the interior. |
 |
| One of the original fireplaces |
 |
| The Kitchen looking into the Living room |
 |
| I liked the exterior colors on this one. |
 |
I also loved the exposed beams in the family room.
You can't see very well, but the Kitchen is amazing. A complete Chefs kitchen. |
 |
| From the loft upstairs looking down into the living room. |
 |
The mansion, there's about another half of the house you can't see in the picture.
We didn't take any pictures of the interior as courtesy of the owner who was present and
had pictures of his family through out. |
 |
| This one became our favorite. We would love to build one like it someday. |
 |
| The kitchen |
 |
| The dining room looking into the family room. |
We took a few more picture of the interiors of the 3 houses above, but not really of any others. We really only took pictures of the ones we could see ourselves buying someday. (Of course excluding the mansion.) But once we saw the last one pictured above, it just seemed perfect and nothing else compared to it. I could go on and on about what we liked about it, but I won't on here. Maybe another post.
We could have gone all evening a seen more, but it worked out to have a sitter so we could have a nice dinner together. For dinner we went to a nice place a few blocks from our home called
Faustina. It is a great little restaurant with delicious food and a beautiful interior and patio. Tracy got the Chef's special for that night it was a Halibut over a Gnocchi pasta and a garlic pesto sauce (there was some other things in the sauce as well but I can't remember everything the waitress listed). I got the Lamb Chops and they were cooked perfectly and were just delicious.
After dinner we went to City Creek with some friends that were in town from Logan who we hadn't seen in over a year. It was a perfect ending to a perfect day.
