Jackie came to visit me this past weekend. She arrived at 4:20 AM, that's right it's in the morning. Apparently due to some storm in the East Coast. The good thing is that I live really close to the airport so I can just pick her up when she called. I still made it before she got her luggage and etc.
After a brief "nap" we headed to Lagoon. It's an amusement park with a water park. Since we are not big roller coster person, we just stayed most of our time in the water park. I went on my first water slide with the tubing. It was really fun. Then we met up with my roommate at night to go to a Piano Bar. I have never been to a piano bar, so it was a very interesting experience. They played a lot of country music and of course out of all the people there, it's the old folks that tried to talk to Jackie and I.
Friday was the coolest day ever. We went on our first hot air balloon ride. It was really neat to see everything in fresh air, not like what you get in the airplane. It wasn't scary at all. The balloon actually moved very slowly. Afterwards we did a little shopping and sight seeing around Park City. Afterwards, we had to take a nap since we had to get up at 5:30 for the hot air balloon. After our nap, we went to a club. Unlike the night before, we got whole bunch of young'ins. They claimed to be 21 - 22, but when you are in UT, these kids look like they are 18 especially with the blond hair and baby face.
Next day, I had tennis in the morning. Then we went to visit The Great Salt Lake and antelop Island. What is interesting about the place is that there are ~700 buffalos living on this island, but we didn't see any running in the wild. We saw three in the pen!! They claimed it's because of the weather, but I think it's a conspiracy to get people to pay $8 to drive around a salty island that is not suitable for anything else. We then went to a Neurosurgeon's house party. While it was neat to see them drink and etc, but the women / ladies there are all married and talk about kids and how they don't see their husbands. We got bored pretty quick. Unfortunately, they went to a club after we left. I wouldn't have minded going to a club... at least I don't have to hear about how they put their husband through med school.
Sunday was Jackie's last day. We just drove around downtown and visited the LDS temple. It was very interesting to learn about their history and their views. I don't think I will join, but I think it's good that people have their faith. Then, I streaked / highlighted my hair red. I like it, even though everyone is skeptical about it. I think it turned out fine, it's only hair anyways.
