Hello from the road! Lots and lots of driving today. And driving with children for 6 hours may not bring too many happy moments lol. They actually did pretty good and I am proud how they treated each other....mostly.
So off we went at 6 AM. I have Pandora on my cell phone and I was able to plug in my head phones and put one of the little speakers in my ear. That way, I was able to listen to the kids and help them out when they needed it, but be able to tune out any whining or little noises....it was great! I love that I can listen to whatever music I want to!
We made great time and when we got to the hotel, we were the only people here! So I let the boys run up and down the hallway of the 3rd floor, outside our room. They had the best time and I am pretty sure they thought mom was a little coo coo for letting them do something that is usually a big time no no....hey, when on vacation!
After settling down, we got on our swimsuits and headed to the indoor pool. The boys had a lot of fun swimming with mom and dad!
After swimming, we went to dinner at one of our favorite local restaurants that is not in California, Cracker Barrel! Yummy food as always!
After dinner, we drove over to see the Saint George Temple. It is interesting. I remember the temples being much more gated off than they are now. I don't remember being able to walk the grounds or see the visitor center when I was little...but I am so glad my kids have that chance! Joel and I walked around the temple and watched as a bride was getting her pictures taken in front of the temple steps. It was a great moment to talk with Joel about eternal marriage and he was so cute! We have a list that he has been making for a long time about what to look for in a bride. Well, he told me he wanted to add one to his list lol, she has to like playing video games with him..."that's a must!" I told him that was a good idea....I love playing video games with David and some of those games are really fun!
So that was our day one of happy moments here. Hope everyone is having a nice summer and staying cool because my goodness it is HOT here!
