After arriving we waited a week for our stuff to arrive, had a week to start unloading, Seth turned 7, then we left for another 10 days of vacation. This time we went to Island Park, ID and Yellowstone for a weekend with Jeff's family. After that we went to Lake Powell on the Utah Arizona border with my fam. We got back Saturday night and Monday Jeff started work while Oliver, Bry and Seth started school. They go to year round school. It has been a whirl wind summer. I am looking forward to settling down in a routine. We had a great time this summer. I am sure that it will not be equaled.
We hit DC right at the beginning of the heat wave. The boys were wiped out. This is not a posed shot.
This is a favorite picture of mine in Jamestown, VA-- the first English Settlement in North America
Charleston, SC. Fort Sumter in the back ground.
Aboard the USS Yorktown a retired air craft carrior. Very cool!
By the Savannah Cotton Exchange. Savannah was my favorite city to visit.
Liberty Jail where Joseph Smith was kept for 4 months on bogus charges, then let go.

WoW! That sounds great! I wish we had been able to really make a trip out of our cross country drive, alas we just had to hurry out so that we didn't have babies on the roadside. I hope you are getting used to living in Utah again and loving it! Miss ya!
ReplyDeleteI have to agree. I LOVE Savannah. Love love love. Charleston as well. Something about the South. Must be the "Gone with the Wind" fantasy of mine. Hoop skirts and southern gents.
ReplyDeleteWhat a summer! I am so sad we missed seeing you when you were in D.C. Next time we are out in Utah we will have to meet up. I bet you are ready for some rest.
ReplyDeleteJoe had so much fun with Oliver at the reunion!! Thanks for letting him hang out with your crew. Sounds like you guys have had a great summer and the kids will have some fun stories for the "what did you do this summer?" question at school.
ReplyDeleteIf you are gonna do it...do it right! That sounds like a jam packed summer full of wonderful memories. I'm sure you are settling in nicely now that you are "home." How does it feel to be back in UT for good? You guys are a memorable part of our lives too!
ReplyDeleteWow, those are a LOT of adventures you guys had. I'm totally jealous about Lake Powell. I've heard a lot about it but have never been. You guys are lucky to have had such a cool trip!
