Utah!

20 hours in the Void were certainly not enough! But the weather was just gorgeous and we made the most of our time there. We pulled in at about 6:00 PM after hitting some pretty bad traffic south of Salt Lake. We checked into the Hampton Inn and then got to Laura's by 6:30. We had a nice tour of her extremely spacious apartment and then her friend, Bryan, came over to go to dinner with us. We went to Bombay House and were joined by Tom and his friend, Katie. After Bombay House, we went an Italian place on Center Street for gelato
then on to Tom's apartment where he showed us his awesomely cool football signed by BYU All American quarterback greats:We got back to the hotel and crashed then this morning we went to Tom's apartment and watched The Price is Right (he watches it every morning) with him. He also ordered a new phone. Then Daddy and I walked around campus while we waited to meet Laura for lunch at J-Dawgs. Tom and Katie at work:) Anna and a recently engaged Tara also came and later on Ben S and Ben G plus some others joined us including Duncan Hartt (Olivia's brother) and Courtney Doolittle.It was such gorgeous weather--being outside was so much nicer than being inside. After J-Dawgs we took Laura to the Cocoa Bean Cupcake Cafe where we split a cupcake. Yummy! Today is her crazy busy day so we said goodbye to her at 1:30. Tom was working all day so we left him sweeping the J-dawgs parking lot. They are so happy that I can't complain one bit that they live 2,000 miles away. We headed down to Lynndyl and got here a little after 4:00. Grandma had swiss steak, mashed potatoes, banana squash, and salad waiting for us to eat for dinner. It was really good. After we ate, Grandpa took us on a tour of the Lynndyl Cemetery. He has worked hard to make it a lot nicer than it's ever been. Tomorrow we head for Phoenix:)
