Highlights:
- Successfully visited the Salt Lake Temple, the Transcontinental Railroad Golden Spike site and the Idaho Potato Museum within one 24 hour period
- All Idaho road trip day visiting the worlds first nuclear power plant, checking out the lava flows and hiking the volcanoes at Craters of the Moon, exploring the Shoshone Ice Caves, before taking in the Shoshone Falls and finally swiming in the Snake River
- National Park adventure day up to Yellowstone, through the geyser basin to Old Faithful, up over the continental divide, down into Moran, WY, past Mt. Moran and into Grand Teton for a dip in a few lakes and finally onto Jackson, WY for dinner and ice cream
- Also, Luke and I checked off Idaho and I managed to run a marathon at attitude without throwing up
Low-lights:
- Luke’s stilt skills, Dylan’s geode smashing technique
- Old Faithful, reliable but underwhelming
- Spent significant time in Salt Lake learning about Mormons, still just have the one wife
Thanks:
- To Shannon, Luke and Dylan for putting up with the heavy travel load and pretending to be interested in sites that perhaps were only interesting to me
- To Bill and Marge for funding and putting up with the heavy travel load as well as our occasionally tired and cranky kids
- To John and Peg for once again looking after our fur child, Eli
