Sam and Jerry are...In the Past?!!?! (Great Scott!)

Hey Everyone,

It's been a slow couple of weeks for us this past July. It's also been hotter than heck, and we've been perfectly content with just staying inside with Central Air. Sam has been indulging her new-found addiction to Bleach, which has given me plenty of time to...replay old video games.

*Sigh*

Livin' the dream
While the temptation to lapse into a daze of mindless gaming is well...tempting, it wouldn't make for a very good read. So lace up your 80's Nikes and grab your retro vests time travelers! It's time for a trip...


TO THE PAST!!!!

Ohhh Yeah!

Today (or yesterday?) the destination of our time-traveling shenanigans is one of our trips to Hogle Zoo. Located near SLC across from This Is The Place (another story entirely), Hogle Zoo offers a wide variety of of exotic creatures in animal-friendly habitats. In fact, the zoo is such a terrific habitat for these animals that they are accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. While on our visit, we happened upon strange and magnificent creatures, such as...

ELEPHANTS!
Awww, its a baby one!
TIGERS!
Oh no! The Eye of the Tiger!
DINOSAURS!
Holy Crap! 
 THIS GUY!

Don't mind me. Just gonna finish my fruit salad.
GORILLAS IN PONCHOS!
Wait a sec...oh, very funny...
All in all, all of our trips to Hogle Zoo have been a lot of fun, and if you haven't been, I highly recommend you go. All right everyone, hop into the Delorean. Time to go...

BACK TO THE FUTURE!
Zany scientists not included.

Sam and Jerry are in...Japan! (Sort of)

Okay, so Sam and I are not really in Japan...but we could be...if we wanted to be...

Instead, we headed down to the Japan Sage Market on 1515 S. Main St. near downtown SLC
Oddly, no Sages for sale.
The market is a treasure trove of authentic Japanese food, treats and trinkets. We had a blast exploring the small store, and bought lots of delicious goodies.
 
Said delicious snacks
Overall, it was a good way to spend some time, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for some good Japanese treats. Here is a pic of the inside:
