Road trip, days 6 & 7

Monday, day 6 was pretty long and boring. We drove all the way to Wendover where we spent the night. We basically just drove and made short stops along the way.


You can see from the pictures how exciting the scenery was! :)
The only place we found to eat was a Pizza Hut. There was a large family group having a birthday party so that kept us entertained while we ate.

First time I've seen this guy in person: Kent stood out in the middle of the road and took a picture for me - isn't he [Kent not the cowboy] awesome?


I texted our kids and told them we were spending their inheritance. Most demanded that we double it! ;)

Tuesday was also a pretty boring drive. We drove across the salt flats. Then instead of driving through Salt Lake freeway traffic, we took some back roads. It was much prettier. We stopped at this place call Iosepa.

It was a little town settled by some Polynesians. The name in English is Joseph - for Joseph F. Smith, who was the prophet at the time. When the temple in Hawaii was built, most of them returned home. Here are some pictures at the cemetery.

That was our last stop before arriving home. It was an AMAZING trip! Thank you, Kent. How I love you!!!!!!
