Lucas, Brad, Granny, Grandaddy, and myself all went to Salt Lake City this week. I had a conference on Early Hearing Detection and Intervention and they all just bummed around. We rented a car, so on Sunday, we went to Park City. Northern Utah is a very different place than we are used to. It was about 65-70 degrees, but there was snow in the mountains. It's very dry there, but really neat. Mountains are all around them. There were people skiing still. We also went to the Olympic Park in Park City. It was nice.
While I was working, everyone else continued to sight-see. They went to Antelope Island Park and visited a ranch, saw buffalo and all kinds of other animals. They went and visited the Mormon Temple and Tabernacle. Dad and Brad even went to a family history museum and tried their hand at researching their family trees.
We just returned today from Salt Lake City. We left on Saturday afternoon and returned today. Neither day of air travel was without it's moments. Saturday, when we got to the airport in Louisville, we were told that our flight was delayed due to weather in Chicago. Well, we ended up about 3 hours delayed. When we got to Minneapolis, we had to run to catch our connecting flight. They had already closed the doors, but they let us on. Today, we left Salt Lake City on time (at 6:00 am). They did have to de-ice our plane. It was snowing when we left. When we got to Minneapolis, I looked at the gate wrong and we went a long way only to find out that we were at the wrong gate and terminal and again, we had to run to make it.
We made it home safely and Lucas did really good on the planes. Now, we are all jet-lagged and I seem to be the only one still awake. I'll get my sleep tonight, because I have to go back to work tomorrow. Brad and Lucas are going to hang out at home the rest of the week.

Glad everyone had a good time. Looks like it was pretty there. Maybe someday I can go, but it will have to be a car show going on for me to get to go. We have big plans to go alot of places, with Buzzy he says, just when Pappy thinks he can be gone. He says he's gonna slow down, but I don't believe him.
