The Long Drive


Saturday we left at 6:30am and started the never ending drive home.  We drove back through Wyoming, still a whole lot of nothing, but we some some historical things along the way.  We followed the Pioneer Trail for a while and ended up at Martin's Cove.  It was fun to watch the kids pull hand carts and read journal entries from those who crossed the plains.  We were able to find my ancestors name's that were on a plaque.  I wish we could have spent a little more time there, but we were on a schedule.


We finally reached Salt Lake about 5:45pm and met up with our friend's, the Melansons, for dinner.  They just happen to be in town at the time too.  It was so fun to see them, but way to short.


We left for St. George around 8pm.  We were so happy to finally reach Nana and Papa's and even more happy to not have to drive anymore.

We relaxed Sunday and had a nice time and got to celebrate Adam's birthday a little early.  Monday we drove back to San Diego and back to reality.  It was a great trip with lots of fun memories.  We are all very glad to be in our own rooms and own beds.
