September has been so lovely.
What a beautiful time of year for an outing.
Last weekend some of the girls in the family got together for a little over night stay down town.
It was a bit spontaneous, and not everyone could make it,
(we wish we had planned it sooner), but it was relaxing and fun.
We will have to do it again when everyone can come!
We ate simply, people-watched, and peeked in a few stores.
It was restful and fun.
We stayed in the heart of Salt Lake City at the Marriott Hotel.
Due to a little mix up with our room, and too many people booking the same hotel, we ended up with four of us sharing two full size beds. You could say it was a “bonding” experience.
We spent most of our time at the City Creek Center.
It is an open shopping area with all kinds of stores, restaurants, fountains, and plenty of fresh air.
We enjoyed watching the Comic Con crowd as they took time off from the convention at the Salt Palace to eat or shop. They were trying to break a record for having the most dressed up attendees and everyone came as some kind of fantasy, science fiction, or comic book character.
They did break the record, with the Guinness Book of World Records there to make it official.
We saw some pretty creative costumes!
Where else can you hear the workers at the food court say, “Batman, your order is ready”?
It was interesting to see a little costume adjusting going on, too.
The best activity we enjoyed was trying to figure out if some of the mall crowd were really dressed up as someone, or just free thinking individuals.
(Maybe some people wondered the same thing about us!)
All in all, it was a nice outing.
What are your favorite girl get-away activities?

It definitely worked out well that comic con was the same weekend. Definitely made for some great people watching! I do believe it needs to become a tradition!
This looks like a fun new family tradition, JoAnn. It's always good to get away and see new things and have fun with family and friends. The Comic Con costumed attendees must have been the icing on the cake :)
That looks like so much fun! I'd say the Comic Con was a bonus. :)
I absolutely love girl time. It's good for our hearts.
It looks like it was a fun weekend with the girls! It's a good thing to do every now and then :)
It's always wonderful to plan those little get always, with the females. I'm sure they all enjoyed their time.
Funny how those beds helped you all bond....regardless you've made new memories.
I just had a one day outing with little Ivy and her Mom and that was such fun.
