I visited Utah at the beginning of January, and I'm going back again to visit Matt and friends next week! #holla 

One of my favorite things we experienced when I was there were the Midway Ice Castles. 

About a year ago, I learned that Utah had these "ice castles" during the winter. Utah sounded like a good place to go on a four day trip, so Krystal and I went. We had a blast making a quick trip to Brighton, eating waffles in Provo, and visiting some of my favorite places in Salt Lake City, but there was virtually little, if any snow (which is why we drove up to Brighton to make some semblance of a snowman). It wasn't cold enough. Even at the end of January.

So we did a lot of fun things, but we did not get to see the ice castles.

Fast forward to this year when I went to Utah again. This time there was snow. LOTS OF IT. And I loved it, as expected. And I loved it even more that because it was snowy and cold, the castles would be open in time!

How was your Halloween? Mine was everything I wanted this year. But I have even more great Monday news: I'm going to be traveling to Salt Lake City, UT after my visit home in January!! And to celebrate this, and the end of Halloween-time, here's a little recap of one of my favorite times I visited Utah during the spooky season (two years ago). Including general Halloween ideas for next year ;)
