I spent the night out on the town last night with 4 of my good friends.

Last weekend at Vicky’s birthday party they all started discussing my birthday and what we were going to do to celebrate. There was talk about getting a hotel room downtown and going out to a piano bar. I don’t know how we pulled it off, but all 5 of us were able to get away without the kids and spend a night out.

We planned on going to a piano bar, but found out that Sunday night was karaoke night. I NEVER do karaoke, but I do enjoy watching others make fools of themselves We decided to go anyway…the options are limited on a Sunday night in Salt Lake City. Before that we went out to the Bayou for dinner. I LOVE the food there. I always get the same thing–sweet potato fries and gumbo with crawfish– and I was looking forward to it all week. I was not disappointed.

After dinner we headed over to The Tavernacle for karaoke. We got there and the place was empty, but it soon filled up. But after a bit we noticed we were the only women in the bar. Apparently it was gay night at The Tavernacle! All of the karaoke was very serious. Many of the people singing looked like they were going to cry and most of them could sing. The best kind of karaoke is when everyone is bad and having a great time. But Yori and Tiffany sang quite a few songs and did it the right way. They were silly and having a fun time while singing. We lasted there until about midnight and that was about the moms could handle.

We headed back to our hotel and all climbed into bed. We chatted for a bit and then fell asleep. It was nice company and fun just to get away for the night.
