Trip to Utah

Such a blessing to get on a plane and fly to see my grandkids, daughter and parents.  With Tammy moving to Utah, we are missing the September Women's Celebration 5K race in Boise, which has become our tradition for the last 4 years...  combined with my birthday and the RS broadcast for fall conference.  So I decided a fall trip to Utah would be my new tradition. Love Southwest points.  My trip also correlated with some cataract surgery that Dad had scheduled.  So I could be there to be a big help to him and Mom.

No more direct flights... so I flew thru Las Vegas.  Couldn't help but notice that the temple is built on the outskirts as far as posssible from that "wicked" city.  It was fun to see it all from the air.  Flying over desert, and nothing and then to see a great mass of houses and people in the middle of nowhere.

 We did so many fun things in Utah, just playing with the kids, painting and helping Tammy decorate her living room with awesome things we found at TJ Maxx and a crazy search for the perfect mirror that ended in a fabulous used furniture shop in Sugarhouse, shopping at Taipan and Ikea, building firetrucks at Lowes workshop for kids, spending time with Mom and Dad, going to the Brigham City Temple dedication, seeing Steve and Suzette.  It was a fast week and I couldn't stay away from my life in Spokane much longer, but it was great!
