It feels like we could drive that road from Washington to Utah with our eyes closed.
14 hours
long.
Each time we drive it we just want to GET there
even though I always see interesting signs or attractions that I want to stop at.
In August I drove the 3 younger kids to Utah by myself.
Maryn was already in Utah at EFY.
We didn't have any time commitment and Jeff wasn't with us who doesn't get excited with "points of interest" signs like I do.
So, I took this time to stop whenever I wanted to.
If we saw a historical marker
we stopped.
If we saw a sign that got our curiosity
we stopped.
Our first stop was a couple of hours into the trip...
a teapot
built by someone who thought it would make a cute gas station and coffee stop. It's nothing now but has it's own sign on the freeway to tell drivers to stop and see.
We did and it was cute.
Another stop we made was in Echo, Oregon on the Oregon Trail.
This was called a Hobo camp.
This was called a Hobo camp.
This was the first jail in the pioneer camp.
Emmy wanted to journal her experience here.
So, while we were all checking everything out and getting excited about history Emmy just sat under the tree pondering.
We also stopped Bruneau Dunes.
The Twin Falls Temple was so pretty.
Shoshone Falls was super neat too.
It was such a hot day that we were glad the sprinklers were on.
We were well-rested in arriving to Utah and we had tons of fun enjoying our journey!
