Summer Vacation Week 9 + Our Vacation

Monday about noon, we headed out to see some friends in Rexburg. We just drove straight there minus one stop so Baby Girl didn't have to be stuck in a car all day. It rained a little but overall was a nice drive. We ate at Chick-fil-A for the first time. I got to meet a friend of Josh's. He has cats. We found out that Baby girl doesn't like cats... It's quite hilarious actually. Both Baby Girl and myself ended up super sick that night. 

Tuesday we drove from Rexburg into Grand Teton National Park. It was a beautiful drive. The park is HUGE! It was very stormy so we only ended up on 2 trails and were unable to complete the last half a mile on one which was okay because when we reached about 100 yards from the car, it started pouring! There were people hiking up as we were coming down and boy I sure thought they were crazy. We drove from one end of the park to the other and despite the cold, rainy, dark weather it was gorgeous. We then drove into Jackson and ate at Pinky G's Pizzeria. It smelled phenomenal and tasted great. Baby Girl met a puppy chocolate lab outside the restaurant and we could not get her attention for anything. We then drove back to Rexburg. 

Wednesday we headed back to Burley around 2. Boy, oh boy, we had an adventure driving home. We were hit with three major storms on our drive! With the first major storm, Josh pulled over and we waited for about 20 minutes for the worse to pass us. We still left when it was nasty but, we didn't have to pass through most of it on the highway. Then we had two smaller yet powerful storms we hit on the way home. We made it back to eat dinner and play "Ticket to Ride" with some family.

Thursday was a day I didn't want to be in the car but, I ended up in a car. We went around town. Got some ice cream, bought "Ticket to Ride", and just explored the area. It was a horrible night but, neither josh nor I really wanted to go home.

Friday we left. We decided to make as many stops as we wanted. We had to stop because Baby Girl was fussy so we got some Apple Beer. Josh is addicted to that soda! Then we went to Chick-fil-A and Cabela's. We ended up making a stop in Beaver, we went shopping in St. George, and stayed with my folks in Mesquite. It was a tiresome day to say the least.

Saturday we got to relax, played "Ticket to Ride" some more, then drove home. It was smooth sailing! We visited family and showed off our pictures and what we bought and played "Ticket to Ride". 

As Josh and I return to reality, we begin another school year and all that comes with it!

Pictures will be uploaded to a future post.
