2 Weeks of Vacation

To celebrate graduating R and I rewarded ourselves with a two week vacation. Our first vacation was with the R's family to California. We went to six flags for the first few days and then to sea world. I loved it all and it was a great way to say goodbye to the family. When we flew home from Cali we got in our car to start our next adventure, a drive across the US. We started in SLC and planed on stopping 8 hours later in Nebraska but our plans were ruined when we found out there were no hotels available in the state of Nebraska because of the flooding in Iowa. This forced us to continue on driving through the night. We ended up staying in the worst hotel east of Chicago. It had the worst smell, holes in the sheets from cigarettes, and off white towels. Surprisingly I didn't care and slept for 12 hours straight. We then continued on to Canadaguia NY for my family reunion. For those of you who have met my family will understand fully what this all entails. There were about 90 family members. Canadaguia is right out of Palmyra so we were also able to see the church history sites there. My brother S blessed his baby in the Sacred Grove after my family attended the Palmyra temple. As my brother said, it didn't make it more spiritual but it did make it more memorable. Our vacation ended with driving to DC to move in Daddy's basement.
