JDawg

My husband and I have had JDawgs many times and fun fact my husband's brother actually met his wife at JDawgs when they both worked there years ago. There was definitely love in the air and there will be when you take your spouse on a date to JDwags

JDawgs was created by a "creative, yet broke and somewhat directionless BYU student. After just a handful of years, JDawgs has gained a cult-like following among Utah County's most distinguished cylindrical meat connoisseurs and regular folds alike, and all built on the simple premise of serving up the tastiest dawgs around. We think we've done just that. With the perfect combination of 100% beef dogs, featuring J's signature scoring, fresh locally baked buns and our Special Sauce."

How it works is you pick between a Polish or Beef Dawg, then choose if you want their Special Sauce and then add your own ingredients!

JDawgs has a Special Sauce that you can choose to put on it and it is so good and definitely worth a try! "Three generations of slow evolution have contributed to dialing in their sweet and tangy sauce, which perfectly complements own dawgs."

"Provo classic. Yummiest sauce. Big dogs. Perfect buns. The girls working there were so freaking nice too! It's really clean and service is quick. You really can't go wrong."

"Yummy! This is probably the only hotdog I'll crave for. The state of both beef and polish were just delicious. The sauce is their secret! I hope they'll branch out in Salt Lake City area. Their staff were nice and helpful."

"Best hot dog on the planet. I do not like hot dogs generally, but these are amazing. All the ingredients are high quality and the combination of it all together is delicious. We went to j-dawgs when it was in the little red shack. Now, over a decade later it's still as good as it was the first time."

Relationship tip: on this date ask questions like "What was your favorite toys as a kid that kids don't really play with now? (If we have kids, should we try to find it for them?)" This question could bring up childhood memories and these could be fun to share with your spouse.

A Night of Laughter

Image courtesy of ComedySportz Utah
ComedySportz Utah is Utah's longest running, family-friendly, improve comedy club. My husband and I had the opportunity to see them when we visited Utah a couple years ago and we were laughing so hard! We sat right up front so we got to interact with them a lot.

They interact with the audience so well and since it's improv, the audience gets to decide a lot of what happens and the Playerz have to come up with things on the spot and they can be pretty creative and entertaining.                               

Image courtesy of ComedySportz Utah
They have the Playerz who wear jerseys, the Blue team and Red team and there are refs who step in and they make the show extremely funny!

You can also keep watching more if you'd like some more laughs ;)
ENJOY!


Shows are EVERY Friday & Saturday
7:30pm and 9:30 pm
$10 Online & $12 Walk-In

Relationship tip: this should be a fun and relaxing night. Just enjoy the show and laugh with your spouse!

Cycle Through the London Parks!

Screen Shot 2017-05-18 at 12.57.21 PM.png

When in London, pay two pounds for a day of fun cycling through all of the gorgeous parks of London with Santander Cycle Hire Bikes. You could enjoy Regent’s Park, St. James’ Park, Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, Green Park, Hampstead Heath and more!

IMG_2865.jpg

Cycling is a great way to see London, and if you go through the parks you will stay safe and just be able to enjoy the view! You could even stop to have a rest and enjoy a nice picnic together near Buckingham Palace or in front of the Prince Albert statue in Hyde Park!

IMG_2853.jpg

All you have to do to rent the bikes is follow the instructions show on the video here and below:

Step 1: Hire

  • Go to the nearest docking station terminal with your debit or credit card and touch the screen to begin
  • Choose 'Hire a cycle', follow the on-screen instructions and take the printed release code
  • You can hire up to four bikes at the same time (you'll need a separate release code for each bike)
Tip: Santander Cycles is for short trips so, once you have paid the £2 bike access fee for the day, the first 30 minutes of each journey is free. Longer journeys cost £2 for each extra 30 minutes.
Tip: Each bike release code is valid for 10 minutes and only at that docking station. Bikes are valuable so don't let anyone see your code before you use it.

Step 2: Ride

  • Take a moment to read our tips for safer cycling at the terminal
  • Choose your bike and check the tyres, brakes and bell
  • Type your five-digit release code into the docking point's keypad and pull the bike out when the green light appears
  • Adjust the saddle height and you're good to go!
Tip: The bikes have lights that come on automatically when you start pedalling.

Step 3: Return

  • Push the bike firmly into any empty docking point
  • You must wait for the green light, which will show that the bike is securely docked (otherwise we will continue to charge you for your journey). If you don't get a green light, call the Contact Centre immediately on 0343 222 6666 (TfL call charges)
  • If the docking station is full, choose 'No docking point free' at the terminal and follow the on-screen directions to get an extra 15 minutes free
  • To find a nearby space if the docking station is full, choose 'Status of nearest docking station' at the terminal.
  • Remember, if you're not using the bike, dock it back!
Tip: If the bike is unsafe to ride, please let us know it needs repairing by pressing the 'Fault' button on the docking point within 10 seconds of docking it. Turn the saddle backwards to show others that it needs repairing.
Tip: You will need to wait five minutes before hiring another bike.

My husband and I love to go on bike rides, it's one of our favorite things to do together! It’s great exercise and great fun! It’s also the perfect way to see the city in a cheap and unique way! I have lots of my own memories cycling through London and they are certain to never be forgotten!

IMG_0327.jpg

Relationship Tip: Doing exercise doesn’t always have to be boring or miserable. Make a date out of it! You will feel great and have great fun with your significant other!
