Helen's Birthday Trip To Utah

Helen and I traveled to Orem to visit our long time friend Lakshmi for Helen's Birthday. We played and talked and laughed and walked and ate and ate and really had a great time. We arrived on Sunday and Lakshmi treated Helen and I to tea in Salt Lake City followed by the play Menopause the Musical. We then went to a very trendy pub. We had so much fun. Here are a few pictures from our trip.

This is Helen and Lakshmi having lunch in Homestead.
We took a walk in Homestead and I couldn't resist hanging out with Kermit the frog.

Here is Lakshmi and Helen on our walk around the golf course. Well, actually this is where they cross country ski.
Since Helen is the Birthday Girl I needed my picture taken with her.

We had breakfast on our way to the airport.
Lakshmi's daughter Kira, and grandchildren Pace and Satya joined us. Here I am with 2 year old Pace. This is Kira and Satya. The photo was taken by Pace (not bad for a two year old)
Here is Buela Lakshmi with Satya and Pace

Thank you to Lakshmi for hosting us in her beautiful home in Orem and for taking us on wonderful walks and adventures. Happy *8th birthday to Helen. It is a pleasure having Helen and Lakshmi as dear friends.

Happy birthday, Helen! So glad you had a great time visiting Lakshmi, David and the family. It looks like you are a "Grandma" no matter where you go - looks like you and Pace hit it off! Thanks for posting about your trip :)

Carol - I'm so glad you were able to enjoy such a wonderful visit!
The pictures are beautiful!
And I'm glad that Jess put your link on her blog - you are only a 'click' away.
I also had a great time getting to know you better while we were both in Portland and look forward to many 'Grandma Team' visits in the future!
It is truly the best time of life : )
