continuing cross country.

it's totally normal to continue blogging about our epic cross country road trip 3 months later, 

right? so, we left off in a sweet, little hole-in-the-wall restaurant for dinner in iowa. we drove 

through the night--which means matt drove through the night--and ended up in:

we stopped for a rest stop picnic.  everyone was glad to run around and have real food.  there

was a sign on the building that warned of snakes.  i was really loving utah already, so i 

chose to be watchful, but also try to IGNORE THAT GROSS SIGN. 

we continued on to the cabin that a friend so graciously let us stay at for the week.  it

was gorgeous and more than big enough for our family.  it also confirmed to me how 

wonderful it will be to have 2 washers and 2 dryers in our next home.  so quick & easy--

what a luxury.  we had such a great time relaxing as a family here.  the mountain scenery

was breathtaking.  i had never traveled west at all prior to this.  we had a lot of fun

exploring Park City and some areas around it, but that will have to wait for next

time.  i love family vacations.  i'm thankful that we've made it a huge priority in our

family and blessed to do it.  

i might be saying, just take the picture.  you'll be happy we have it someday. ;)

what has your favorite family vacation been?  we don't have plans for 2014 yet!
