Ten days have pass
since I have last written
lots of driving
in the car
a lot of miles
a lot of time.
Spring Break
in
the car
10
days to
visit
three sons
and
three sibs
in
the car
Lots
of driving
We'd gone north
to drop off Bonnie
and then the high school
for parent teacher conference
and then our way
out of town
First to Layton
to
see Biff and
his
wife and
daughter
We
ask Tony to
bring
his family
as
well
They
drive up from
Salt
Lake and we
eat
breakfast
11 in all
And
then we go to Rush –
a
family fun center with
overpowering
loud music and
neon
lights
bowling,
bouncy houses,
lazer
tag, arcades, rides,
did
I mention LOUD
I
think it is called RUSH because
you
are getting the same kind of rush
that
you might get from drugs – or
so
I assume.
I
have never done drugs.
No
desire.
I was already
disoriented from
being
in the car.
I
don’t need further
add to the cause
Did
we have dinner?
Or
did we part after Rush?
I
can’t
remember.
I
didn’t write it
down.
More
driving. Pizza.
Back
to hotel for playing games.
I
think that was my favorite day.
Taking
over the lobby.
Surprise
visit from Aunt Julie.
Monday’s drive to
Salt Lake
Trolley
Square
Valley Fair Mall
Roland
likes to shop
Jai
and I would have
liked
to ride the train
however
we did not.
We
did reminisce at
West
Valley Library
before
we got back
into
the car and drove to
Su
Casa.
My
sibs had already
reserved
a table.
I
don’t remember
Patrick
having
been so tall.
He’s always been
tall,
but
not that tall.
Maybe
I shrunk.
Jenna
is freaking that
Kayla’s kids have
grown and
are
getting taller still.
She
asked them lots of
questions
as Roland and I
continued
to visit with
Patrick,
Sunny and Kayla.
When
Bill arrived I asked
Roland
to trade places
with
me so I could more
easily
visit with my sibs
while
he visited with Bill -
who
separated his boys.
That
was our entire
activity
in Salt Lake before
we
went back to the car
to
spend more time
on
the road driving
to
St. George.
We
stayed with Randy and
his
family for four nights
On
Tuesday Randy took us
to
Pioneer Park.
We
climbed rocks.
It
wore me out.
We
then went to
Brigham
Young’s Winter home.
Randy
drove us in the
company truck.
Roland
fixed breakfast three
mornings we were there.
We
spent a lot of
time
in the car or
the
truck on the roads to
go
out to eat or
shop
or explore
It
was dry. Not hot
but
dry
Jenna
had a nose bleed
I
don’t know how I
lucked out
The
air was not very nice
to
either one of us.
Jenna
and I had cold
cereal
on Friday and
Randy
and Roland had
hot
cereal.
We
left shortly after that.
Next
on the agenda
was
Las Vegas.
Normal
drive is 1.5 – 2 hours
but
longer during construction.
It
took us 3.5 hours!
We
arrived at Corey and
Joh’s who said
we
could spend the night.
After
we brought everything in
we
went back to the car and
drove
on the strip to find and
to
explore Coca-Cola and
M&M
world
We
drove some more
as
we had tickets to
the
Omega Mart
Las
Vegas is NOT
a
fun place to drive
Omega
Mart was trippy
Drove
back to Corey and Joh’s
Jenna
stayed up and
talked
with Joh while
Roland
and I went to bed.
Corey
and Joh wished to
sleep
in the following day
Roland, Jenna and I
played
a few rounds of spades
before
we called them
on
the phone as we
(well,
mostly Roland)
wanted
to load up
the
car so that we
could
be ready to go
after
taking them to IHOP
Our
final visit
More
drive
We
hit every tiny
town
in Nevada on
the
way home
in
the car mostly
for
nearly 2020 miles
2020?
That
sounds familiar,
Doesn’t it?
