Next Stop--Utah!

Driving in the winter doesn't always give you a true view of how beautiful the country is.  Pretty much gray and brown in every direction with occasional patches of snow!  In spite of that we loved noticing many things along the way. Now that we are older, driving until late evening is no longer an option so we stopped in Glendive, Montana our first night. From there we drove through the Yellowstone Park area down into West Yellowstone the second night and then we arrived in Lehi on the third day of the trip.  It was great to see Rachel in Salt Lake City and then arriving in Lehi in the early afternoon.  While in Utah we had a nice dinner with Rachel, Bill and Cathy at the Garden Room at the top of the Joseph Smith Building.  We spent time with the grandkids, enjoyed a manicure with Abby (in anticipation of wearing flip flops again!), took everyone for lunch at Chick-fil-a before going to the Church History Museum.  On Sunday Scott was able to participate in the ordination of Bruce, who is now a deacon and then we headed south to spend the evening at the Holiday Inn Express in Cedar City.  We had a white knuckle experience as the snow began to fall just as we reached Beaver, Utah and from that point on I would say we had the most frightening experience with snow that we had ever had--who would have thought it!
