Brad Paisley concert weekend

On August 2 Ryan and I had tickets to the Brad Paisley concert at USANA amphitheater. It was so fun. I just love concerts, and Brad Paisley is my favorite country singer. To be honest it was my fourth time seeing him in concert, but Ryan had never been to him live and also really likes Brad Paisley's songs. Since concerts usually go until late, we decided to get a hotel and stay the weekend.


 I love Brad Paisley concerts because he gets so into it and the stage is always so flashy and he has tons of animations in the background that he actually does himself. Kinda cool.


We stayed in a hotel right there in Murray called Pavilion Inn. We went for a hike that was called Bell Canyon hike. It was pretty but was very steep. Not too bad under normal circumstances but with a big belly poking out the front of me, I had hard time stepping over some of the big boulders in the trail. It was a half mile to the reservoir, then another mile and a half to a waterfall, which I didn't make it to. We got to the lake and I didn't think I'd make it that much further so we just walked around the lake and went back down. Was very pretty though, I really enjoyed it.



Next we went to Sheels Sporting Goods store. We had never been there so we just walked around and took some funny pictures. I'm sure people thought we were crazy but I thought it was pretty fun.

 Last we went to the Salt Lake temple, and did sealings for family names that Ryan's mom had. Neither of us had ever done these before so we really enjoyed being able to go and do some of Ryan's family names.
It was a pretty laid back and close to home vacation, but we had a lot of fun.
Also as a side note, Ryan finished painting last night so as soon as we get things put back together, I'll post pictures of the inside of our house. Maybe even a video if I can figure it out. :)
