It's always great to have my Dad visit us from Hawaii nei. He's a traveler and wants to explore whatever is out there. Nature and site seeing is his cup of tea. Well he loves to cook and take photos, so I would say that he's an all type of adventure type of guy. Not to mention he really loves GUNS!! Yup with his military background anything to do with weapons, he's hands on deck!! No joking around, he will shot you and you don't even know you've been shot, well until you start bleeding to death. lol Anyways, my dad is in town for 2 weeks and I'm going to enjoy every moment with him. From our walks around town, taking pictures of things he wants to photograph, to making all sort of meals, hiking, driving to Scheels, Cabela's and every type of camping, hiking outdoors place.There is never a dull moment with my dear old Dad. I love to talk stories with him about anything and everything. We even like to plan future adventures around the globe. So I'm hoping and praying that it will come to pass. I would love to travel more and out of country. It's a blessing to have Dad around and I know I'm going to cry like a baby when he leave. I'm grateful that he is finding other things to do to keep his mind busy so he won't think about Mom. Miss you mommy!! But other than that our adventure beings and I'm so excited that its with my family and my Dad!!

My husband Mika's little and last sister to enter into the Temple tonight was wonderful. A simple and wonderful endowment session at the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. Surrounded by family and friends, it was an eventful one. A spiritual journey begins for her and her soon to be husband Ila.
Morning walk with my nieces by the cemeter. Peaceful. — with Natalia Tupuola and Jj Tupuola at American Fork Cemetery.
We the "healthy" couple on our walk!?! lol trying to be a bit more active. #healthylifehealthymarriage #funtimetogether
If ur craving for fresh poke, come over to #laidbackpokeshack in cottonwood, ut. 6213 south Highland drive. Oish is da BOMB!!!! They have a variety of raw fish and ocean goodness. It comes with a bowl of freshly made white, or brown rice and your choice of poké. You can taste test to see what style of poké you like. I usually get the shoe poke and the taco which sliced octopus and oyster. They have kimchi if you want to add a bit of crunch and spice. Great place!

All you can eat Sushi at the cute little shop in Cottonwood Heights. You can't go wrong in picking a place where there is fresh sushi, asian cuisine and much more. I do enjoy a random selection of sushi styles to your taste buds. You have to try it yourself. Friendly service and great vibe. They have different prices for different part of the day. It's price is manageable if you are a big eater for fish and sushi. I recommend it to anyone who is looking for good mix style and big portion sushi!

March Spirit Challenge follow up. How are yall doin with your challenge? IM on facebook and let me know how many days you missed this week. Can't wait to see how well yall did!!
Brunch at #cafeniche in SLC. I got the Niche breakfast sandwich that contains English muffin with eggs, bacon, avocado topped with hollandaise sauce and hash browns. The food and settings was awesome. It's pretty popular in the Salt Lake area, so make sure to make reservations to get a seat, if not you will be waiting for awhile. It's more busy during the early afternoon hours of the day. Our food was delicious and I would recommend this place to whomever wants to try a nice, clean and downtown vide restaurant in downtown Salt Lake City. Good Vibe and Good Food!!
It's so yummy & lite to the taste. #brunchwithmylove

We wanted to try something new for this year anniversary. Being major foodies, we wanted to try out different food locations around Utah and see what they have to offer. So I let Mika take charge of the food location and I just help navigate to where we need to go. I'm the main GPS system when it comes to travel around with Mika. lol Sorry babes but you are truly horrible when it comes to navigating around town. We had breakfast at Silver Fork Lodge and it had a cabin, outdoors feel to it. The food was hardy and full of country vibe goodness. I had corn hard meal and Mika had eggs Benedict. It was good and decent price. Perfect place to go when your out in the cold hunting or skiing. after breakfast we went to the Traverse Outlet mall in Lehi and went window shopping to burn off a little of the heavy breakfast we just ate. Then we headed down to Salt Lake to eat lunch at Takashi Sushi Bar. It was a bit pricey but my love wanted to try expensive sushi for once. And that's what we did, ate expensive sushi! Oh boy was the atmosphere was relaxing and elegant. The meals or sushi dishes was exquisite. With every bite of the fish, octopus, squid and shrimp style sushi was heavenly. Perfect flavors with the many lite dipping sauces and natural taste from the fish oils. This is the place to really enjoy sushi without the over load of mayo or cream sauces from other inexpensive sushi bars. It was delicious and fulfilling. Soon after eating a yummy lunch, Mika and I went home to relax because I felt like I was in a food coma from eating so much today! Took a nap and got dolled up for our last meal of the day, Dinner. Mika wanted found this French restaurant not too far from where we live and felt like trying something more romantic on our Anniversary. We went to Franck's Restaurant in Holladay, UT. It was fancy and very elegant. The presentation of the food was so pretty that I didn't even want to touch it. Seriously it was that gorgeous. Well what do you expect for a expensive meal. We had cheese fondu for our appetizer. We both tried their sweet pea soup which was very tasty. Then came our main course. Stake and mash potatoes. When you look at it at first glance you would think that it's something else, but no it was Stake and potatoes. It looked picture perfect good. Like in the magazine, thats how beautiful it was. Oh man and the taste of it was so good that it literally melted in my mouth. The mash potato was creamy and season perfectly just like the stake. Together it was a match made in heaven. Best meal by far for me! Last but not least, dessert time. Mika and I shared a pistachio ice cream with a chocolate brownie topped with white chocolate cotton candy. Can I say yummy!?! The ice cream was sweet but not too sweet. The brownie was superb to the taste. And that cotton candy brought me by surprise on how lite and sweet it was. Together it blended well. Overall this restaurant was amazing and well worth going there if money isn't the issue. It is very expensive, but for an occasion like our Anniversary, we didn't mind splurging. Well that was my wedding anniversary adventure with my husband. And it was a blast! Well worth everything we spend and more. Thank you sweetheart for making another year great!
I love you!!
