Best French Fries!

For our anniversary we didn't have time or money to do anything fancy, but I just had to get away from home! So we packed up the girls and we all drove to Nephi to get some of the best french fries!! haha! Not your typical anniversary date, but it was great to get away.
 Growing up my family used to always stop at Frosty Freeze in Nephi on the way home from camping or family reunions. It was tradition. So when Bill and I were first married we were bored one night and we just started driving (WOW! that sounds like a complete dream now. haha!) When we  had been driving for a bit it was dark and we started wondering where our destination was and so it became Frosty Freeze. Bill had never been and I wanted him to have a taste of our tradition. So we ended up in Nephi and were sad to find out that Frosty Freeze was out of business. 
 Well, we were still hungry and started looking for some food even though we were disappointed, we were hungry.. just a few buildings down we found REED'S Drive-in and we gave it a try. We ordered our burgers and then we ordered a large order of fries, little did we know that an order of fries came with each hamburger... So when we got a couple of boxes and a brown bag of food we were amazed!! and we opened them up.. So many fries!! And of course the best part.. the fry sauce was included! We ate and ate and then had some left overs. But now we are hooked. So long story short,  our Anniversary, I wanted to get away, remembering blessed mistake = happy taste buds, full tummy and a NEW family tradition. And by the way if you ever get to stop in at REED'S you defiantly need to try their Western Burger... I'm just saying.. it's good.
 Here are some more pictures to prove that it really exists and that we really went.

See how much they love their fries?!

"Glass of Water, Crust of Bread"...

For anyone who has seen Disney's Beauty and the Beast... I had the line "Glass of water, crust of bread" from the movie going through my head for a week and I kept saying it at random times just because it was roaming around inside my head. So one morning when Bill was off to school I came out to eat and there on the counter was a glass of water and a crust of bread with this little note... what a funny funny guy! I really did laugh out loud! The water is not pictured because... well.. I was thirsty and couldn't wait... :)
