Spring Break

Kurt had to take the final test to become a state licensed engineer down in Utah. The kids and I decided to tag along for a spring break family vacay.

We left Monday around noon (we decided to go to bed Sunday night instead of pack! That choice gave a later start but it was well worth it.) We stayed at one of our resorts in Midway, Utah. It is in the same valley as Heber City. It is gorgeous down there. Tuesday morning Kurt took his test. The kids and I went for a walk while he was gone. I was expecting it to be warm and sunny since we had gone south. We had busted out the new summer sandals for the trip and everything. We wore our sweatshirts and coats all weekend. Kurt got back around 11:30 and we got ready to go to the Hogel Zoo in Salt Lake. Ben, Elaine and Lorna were nice enough to meet us there so we could spend some time together. It was great to see them! After the zoo we went out to eat for dinner at TGIF (Austin told us it was closed since it was Tuesday.) Then we had to say good-bye (after Emma and I tried to hijack Lorna for the night!)

Wednesday morning we woke up to 6 inches of snow! We couldn't believe it. We waited for it to stop and the roads to clear but it wasn't stopping. We decided it would be a better tactic to get out as soon as possible so we weren't stuck! Crazy March weather. After we got to SLC it turned to rain so that was more manageable. We stopped for lunch at Chuck E. Cheese and had great family fun. Kurt racked up the high score (38) in "Whack-a-Mole" and earned us lots of tickets. It was a fun way to break up the trip. We finally pulled into Vale around 8 pm. Ruth was probably the happiest (she was in a definate fight with her car seat at that point!), or maybe dad (the kids needed a lot of potty breaks the last 2 hours), or maybe mom (my bed was calling my name), or maybe...It was a short trip with lots of driving we were all glad to be home.

Thanks for a great Spring Break trip. I'll travel with ya anytime!
