Up Days.

Because yesterday was a down time day, we wanted today to be an up-and-at-em day where we went and did stuff, staying away from the hotel as long as we could.  It started out great, since we get a "free" breakfast each morning for staying at this hotel (rather decent - bacon, eggs, potatoes, biscuits and gravy, of course being New Mexico there was a green chili gravy too, waffles, etc.), Jason and I went to breakfast together (he usually goes about an hour or so earlier than me because he has to leave for work), so it was awfully nice sitting together eating.

We came back to our room, looked up movies to see what is on these days and found a movie (Jason Bourne) for 10:15 a.m., which is the cheapest time to go, so SCORE on that!  It was at the IMAX theater and it was a typical Bourne movie.  Lots of action, violence and wiggling of the camera.  Left with a headache.

We drove around a little and found Trader Joes.  I was as excited to go there as a kid to Disneyland.  We purchased some chips/salsa and some popcorn for our movie night tonight and left.  By then we were hungry for lunch (it was around 1:30-ish).

We ate at Fuddrucker's and were so excited to find one.  They have them all over here.  Jason got (surprise) a burger with green chili on it and I got their chili cheese fries, which I used to get all the time at the one in Mesa off of Longmore.  They were as good as I remembered them being, and they didn't cost a whole lot.

We then walked around the mall a bit, which is Jason's personal hell (though he was a great sport about it).  Didn't buy anything.  Got in the car and drove east to a mountainous area where SASS is located.  Shocker of all shocks, it was a gun shooting range - apparently world renown.  I didn't mind.  It was a nice drive and I always enjoy seeing Jason get excited about anything (he's so mellow usually).

We decided to come back to the hotel.  It was 5:00 and time for our free mocktail - orange and pineapple juices and grenadine syrup.  I can't drink them, so Jason got his and I did another load of laundry and he went into the hot tub.

We are now back in our room, freshly bathed and in our jammies and are getting ready to watch a movie of some sort.  We haven't settled on one yet, but will soon enough.

Yet another great day together with my favorite fella and hardly any $$ spent.  Success!
