Last Saturday, the Triple D Divas met for a day trip get-away to Northern Utah - specifically Logan and Brigham City (with a little touch of Idee-ho thrown in for good measure).
We started our journey with lunch at the Bluebird Cafe. Everyone knows about the Bluebird - it's about the oldest place on main street, and is tradition for anyone whose ever done a Logan Temple Trip.
We went in to see the Logan Tabernacle, and I snapped this cool picture of the oragn pipes.
(Of course, now that we're all in our 40's and have shrinking bladders, the Tabernacle also made for a clean and convenient potty stop.)
...Also a view of the Logan Temple spires from outside the Tabernacle...
From there, it was off to Glossner's Cheese Factory for some squeaky cheese.
After that, we went to the Pepperidge Farms Outlet, and the girls all found some cookies and stuff. But nothing really excited me there. However, the outlet is located in Richmond, Utah, just a few miles from the Idaho border. So we figured "what the hay, let's go to Preston".
A few minutes later we were in Preston, Idaho, home to "Napolean Dynamite". We didn't find any tater tots, but we stopped at a mini-mart to buy some lottery tickets. After putting in our $1 for a scratch ticket, none of us won anything, and the moral of the story is as it is with all games of chance - you lose a lot more than you win.
To drown our sorrows, it was back to Logan for some Aggie Ice Cream. As a general rule, and as a Cougar Grad, I'm opposed to most things USU. But on the other hand - the Aggie Ice Cream is divine. And I highly recommend the Aggie Blue Mint - DELISH!
Shortly after taking this photo, Janeen's ice cream promptly fell off the cone and on to the ground, but not without tumbling all the way down her white pants. DOH! (Note to self: Never wear white pants on an outing, no matter how cute they are).
After our ice cream, it was back down to Brigham for some chocolates from Idle Isle, another well-known cafe. Truth be told, we also got some chocolates from the Bluebird chocolate shop in Logan, and this of course begged a taste test. After the votes were tallied, Idle Isle came out the clear winner, for fresher chocolate and creamier texture.
We stopped at the Tabernacle to sit on the lawn and eat our delicious chocolates, and get a great view of the almost-completed Brigham City Temple.
