In memoriam of Provo, here's our tour on Memorial Day:
The Provo Tabernacle. See if you notice anybody special hidden in the parts of the panorama:
The guitar shop we visited on a date. The guy has a full shop where he manufactures his own guitars.
Center Street in Provo. Many a stroll and date were had along this strip.
Provo River trail. Runs from Utah Lake to Bridal Veil falls. Lots of exercise and walks had along the banks of the Provo River.
Utah Lake. Not really a swimming or boating destination for us, but often a destination at the end of exercise or walks.
The local hair school! Sure, haircuts may take up to 3 hours at the hands of the inexperienced students who aren't allowed to use clippers, but maybe they'll tell you you look like George Clooney or cut your ear with ultra-sharp scissors to make up for it!
Makeout...*ahem*...lookout point. Also the trailhead for the hike up to the "Y."
Us posing in front of the "Y" trailhead.
Circle has fond fond memories of her time managing Alpine Apartments in Provo (our second house as a married couple)
BYU campus, many hours were spent here by both of us...Circle earning her degree and me working towards becoming a college dropout.
This panorama is a little wonky, but I wanted to get the full effect of looking up at the Provo temple and then down over the temple grounds.
Here's our family picture in front of the Provo Temple.
Circle and I met in this building at the MTC as Italian teachers...what fond memories!
The Boston-style pizzeria with great pizza where Ethan, Circle's brother, took on the challenge of eating a large deep dish pizza in under an hour (see previous blog post for more details).
Stadium Terrace, the apartments where Circle and I lived before getting married. ST is located right next to the BYU stadium where Circle and I always went to watch 4th of July fireworks and broke into once to kiss on the 50 yard line.
The Riverwoods shopping center, location of TUCANOS the brazilian all-you-can-eat meat-fest. Mmmmmmm....
Bridal Veil falls, the place I proposed to Circle and that we have visited for all 6 of our anniversaries.
The hospital where Bella was born. Circle convinced Bella that she should get into her shirt to mimic her pregnant belly.
Savers thrift store, where, on one of our dates, Circle knew I was the right guy because I loved the idea of getting used clothes for cheap prices.
We drive by this sign all the time and have never had the guts to discover just exactly what "Alfajor" is.
Out first house as a married couple. A single room studio apartment, perfect for newlyweds!
A picture of the Malt Shoppe and University Avenue, more of our Provo stomping grounds with a nice sign pointing out the proximity of BYU campus.
You may be wondering what's up with all the Provo nostalgia. Hopefully we'll have a post soon explaining exactly what's going on. Stay tuned!
Cool post and pics! I remember that pizza place where Ethan "inhaled" that pizza! Lol. And, mmmmm...I want some Tucanos!
ReplyDeleteToday, at the end of September, I view this post again and am in awe of the beauty of Provo! Great job with the click and drag scrolling, very effective!
ReplyDeleteHappy you are closer to us by living in Fernley, but I will miss those Utah Mountains, so close that I always felt I could reach out your window and touch them!
Love MOM
