First up, a quiet, child-less car ride with beautiful fall colors and good tunes. We made a quick stop at Arctic Circle (fry sauce and huckleberry sundae!!!!) then...
Spent some time in the Logan Temple
We stayed in a really cute Bed & Breakfast called Seasons at the Riter Mansion. The owners were great and we loved the experience.
We ate dinner at Le Nonne, a nice Italian restaurant in an old historic home. Stephen surprised me and ordered a penne pasta with Gorgonzola cheese and pears! It was soooo delicious. I ordered ravioli filled with sweet potatoes and ricotta which was equally amazing. I read mixed reviews online about the quality of the food, but we would definitely recommend it!
When planning for the overnight trip, we decided to spend most of our fun money on Saturday's activity, so after dinner we were a little stumped about what to do with the night. There was nothing in the theaters we wanted to see badly enough to pay full-price movie fare for, so instead we decided to stock up on the snacks and buy a cheap movie from Walmart. Sad, but true: we went to Walmart for our anniversary. The movie we agreed on was Mrs. Doubtfire. I'd never seen it and it'd been a long time for Stephen. Unfortunately it's about a couple that gets divorced and STAYS divorced (hahahaha romantic, huh?), but we ignored that part and instead enjoyed Robin William's antics.
In the morning we got to enjoy the other half of the B&B: the breakfast!
It was hot chocolate, a delicious cheesy egg & ham breakfast casserole, grapes, and apples. Perfect for a chilly morning.
We spent the morning at the Farmer's Market enjoying honey caramels and fresh raspberries and then did some shopping.
We wanted to eat somewhere "local" to Logan for lunch, but we were too tempted by Costa Vida to pass it by. San Antonio may have Tex-Mex, but we have yet to find sweet pork to match Costa Vida and Cafe Rio.
Our main activity on Saturday was a 2 mile race called the Great Inflatable Race on USU's campus. We are NOT runners, but it sounded like a fun thing to do.

We had some time to kill before the race started so we checked out this amazing used bookstore on Main St with literally tens of thousands of books (maybe more?). It was very entertaining.
Then, the race! It consisted of several inflatable and other obstacle course things. We had a bunch of fun obstacling and taking videos along the way. At the end there was a slip and slide with some pink jello-y stuff. Overpriced? Maybe a little, but it was fun to do something together and we laughed a lot.
Last but not least, we treated ourselves to some Aggie ice cream and headed home.
All in all it was a great weekend. The cool weather was a fantastic break from San Antonio's mugginess, the food was delicious, and most of all I enjoyed having time alone with my best friend!
