Parade of Homes Fun

We love going to the Parade of Homes and try to see many of the homes on display on each year. But, with limited time and how spread out the houses are throughout the valley, we narrow our search down to anything over $500,000 or more. We can dream, right? This year, we saw a great $4 million house high above the Avenues that was one of our favorites.

Anytime the dog has a fancier shower than I do means that they have way too much money to spare.

There were signs all over the house telling us what we could get into and what we couldn't. Here is Melinda being a little disobedient in the prep kitchen. We like to live dangerously.

The circular shower had just gotten finished and oddly they didn't want us testing out the body sprays inside. When a woman saw us near the shower, she came rushing over to make sure her protective tape was still there. Good thing I didn't make Melinda and Kristen crawl under the tape like I wanted them to for my shot.

My favorite part is always the closets. This one had not just a washer and dryer, but it's own step down little room for them. This was one of five different sets throughout the house. The dog room even had its own washer and dryer area.

The view is the best part. Here is Melinda enjoying the pool and the the view . . . with her required booties on . . . our least favorite part of touring swanky houses.

After the tour, we stopped downtown to try the new Blue Lemon in the City Creek Center. Anyplace that has a variety of citrus for our drinks is a winner with us. Not to mention our taste test of desserts was a success. We highly recommend both the chocolate fudge and the carrot cake. Yumm!
