Road Trip!

(Had to slip in this picture of Todd. He found this stylish "Daniel Boone" hat 

in a gas station in the middle of ?? and had to have it.)

Road trips always create memories, there's no doubt about that.  Driving to Utah and back with 3 small kids is always a little unpredictable.  At the end of the day, it was "mission accomplished" for our full agenda:  Drive round trip in 4 days, take kids skiing (despite blizzard conditions and a 2-wheel drive mini-van) , stay with Grandpa Ray in Las Vegas, visit Grandma Libby, Uncle Nate, sleep-over at Aunt Gena's with all the cousins, Lunch with Great-Grandma Wilson, Todd's cousins and aunt Susie (and anybody other family/friends we can squeeze in) and build a snowman (or a snow bunny in our case).  

Oh yeah, somewhere there's a "relax and enjoy our  vacation" in there.  Are we the only ones that feel more tired after a vacation than we do before going?!  

Tumbleweed in the grill - a badge of honor for any true road trip.

You can't do this in San Diego!

(carrot bunny ears? It's all about imagination, right?)

Rule #1 - Make a snowball bigger than yourself 

(just don't let go of that thing Pres!)
