This year we took a road trip to Utah for Spring Break. I have never "driven" to Utah and was pretty excited :) We left Thursday after Sky was done at work, driving to Boise for the night.
Leaving the Palouse
It worked out that Sky's parents were traveling to Boise late as well and we got there about the same time and drove the rest of the way Friday in tandom.
Our hotel was right next to the Boise Temple but I didn't get a picture :(
We went to the Salt Lake Temple to do a session. I had never done one at Salt Lake so that was awesome! Stopping at In n'out for lunch after :) yum.
LDS Conference Center, it was a beautiful day to be at Temple square.
Hayley and GG (Grandma Claudia) got lots of bonding time. Helping in the garden, eating her weight in peaches, pancakes and generally being doted on by GG and Sky's parents :)
Hayley LOVED the space to run and play, it was a bonus that the weather was warm, at mid 60's (compared to Pullman.)
Hayley got a circus tent! It's really cute and collapses pretty easy,
she loves sharing it with whoever will come in :)
One day we drove up to Brigham City to see the new Temple they are building, it was beautiful!
We also spent some time at Grandma Mona's house, we had a great gathering and saw all of Sky's cousins and aunts & uncles.
Heading out, grabbed one more picture with Claudia.
Tuesday we left and headed on the Montana side to stay in Butte for the night.
We passed through Rexburg, stopping at BYU Idaho to look around a bit. We seriously saw the biggest church building ever, it was huge! And of course the Temple, always a nice sight.
While it was sunny and somewhat warm in Utah it was lightly snowing
and cold when we arrived in Butte.
I didn't get a shot, but we did see the legendary "Lady on the Mountain"
It is 90 feet tall and stands lit up glowing on top of the Rockies at night. Pretty cool.
Wednesday, we got back in the car and continued up the Montana side through Missoula.
Seriously gigantic truck with gigantic tires.
Our traveler, being silly as ever.
While it was snowing when we woke up in Butte, we passed through all different terrains that day.
All of which beautiful.
And we finally made it back to the beautiful sunny palouse.
I especially enjoyed getting to see all the little towns in Utah, Idaho and Montana that I've met people from. We had a great time and cant wait to see everyone again!
