Well our trip didn't quite start out as planned. I spent all day Friday getting things packed and ready to go in the car. Once Travis got off work we were on the road headed to Jackson and Rachel's to stay the night. We were on the road by 6, and planned on arriving about 11 pm. We were halfway between Monticello and Moab when my car broke down! We were lucky to be in a spot with service. After a phone call to my dad, we were pretty certain the fuel filter was the problem. Well since we live in the middle of nowhere, an auto part store that was open was out of the question. Most places close at 6, especially on Friday. So several calls later we got a hold of Lindsay and Marty Pulido, our friends in Blanding. Our car sat long enough that we were able to make it to Monticello. Lindsay then came and picked us up. She was so sweet, she called her husband and had him check their insurance, then without hesitation offered us their car to take. By the time we got home it was almost 11pm, so we decided to take a quick bedtime. Then at 5:15 we got up and ready, and were once again on the road by 6am. We arrived at lagoon a little after 11am. We were so excited to be out of the car and ready to see family.
We started at Laguna Beach and did some swimming.
Then taking turns we were able to go on some rides as well.
Overall it was a great day! Jackson and Rachel were able to join us, even though they just got off work, and had to work again that night. We stayed most of the night, enjoying a fun musical show that reminded Travis and I a lot of glee. I even got to continue my tradition and played a putt game that landed me the Big Prize! Afterwards, those who stayed enjoyed a good dinner with a root-beer keg.
I thought that was awesome. Then that night Travis and I headed to Brandon and Whitney's where we watched This Means War. It's a funny movie. Then Sunday we spent more time with them and Ellie before we finally made our long trip home.
