Wendover - A creepy little town...

So we started our day out by having a very yummy "expanded" continetal breakfast at the Best Western (with delcious chocolate flavoured creamer!). Then we checked out the "falls" of Idaho Falls. Very cool! Put us a little behind schedule, but it was well worth it for the photos. We drove straight through to Orem/Provo. Got stuck in some nasty construction near Salt Lake City. Ate lunch at Wendy's (forgot to take a picture...sorry dad). Then we tried to find the Achivers. After much driving back and forth we finally realized it was in the mall! Got some good scrappin' stuff, they had an awesome clearance section. Finished up there and went back to Salt Lake City. We drove to the Morman Temple which was AMAZING! It's a huge complex! We took tons of photos (and saw tons of brides...at least 7!) Then we continued on towards Nevada. Stopped to check out Salt Lake and then walked on the salt flats. Just made it to the border, actually the town we're in borders Utah and Nevada. It's funny, you can tell where the state lines are by the flashy casino hotels on the Nevada side (plus it's marked on the road :) ) So we're staying in Utah at another Best Western. The town's kinda creepy, it's only one street and kinda sleazy. Tomorrow we're hoping to have lunch in Reno, check out Lake Tahoe and spend the night in Fairfield, CA. Hopefully we have the same awesome weather as today. It was 92F (33C) in SLC!! So nice!! I'll try to post some pictures tonight from our day today.

Did you take Stormie out on the flats for an attempt at becoming the World's Fastest Saturn?

Have you come across any good Woodworking Stores? You might want to try Crafts Supplies - 1644 South State St. in Provo, Utah...not far from SLC. Lots of quality stuff for woodturners.

Work on the deck proceeding nicely, Mom working very hard.

What did you buy my mommy at Archivers?? ;) I hope you got her something and she's a very good Mommy. ;)

She's sad because she worked sooo hard on the sb for Cris and Diana this week and at the shower they never even opened it. :( Very very sad, so she needs a pressie.

Have fun today! We're going for brunch at MonVillage. YUM!
