Latest travels

I'm a little worn out from traveling. Since we moved here 22 months ago, I've been to Utah 11 times. Each time has had a legitimate purpose: 6 times for work, 3 funerals and 2 weddings. 2 of those times were last month. For this post I'll focus on the first trip.

We made several stops on our trip. Our first stop was to St. George. I had a work conference there. While there we went to Tuacahn. It was my first time there and we were able to see Little Mermaid. It was so much fun!

 After St. George, we drove to Salt lake, spent a day and then flew to Missouri. It was the first time I've been out there in 3 years. It was so green and very humid. We had a great time.

We spent a fair amount of time on the Westwood Civil War Ranch. Scott's parents purchased it almost 2 years ago. The views are amazing and it is such a peaceful place. At times I find myself talking to Adam and this is one of the places where I felt very close to him.

We spent time on the pond. The kids had a blast on the canoes and rafts. 

The farm house is so awesome. Scott's parents hope to move in there soon. They are just waiting on the sale of their home.

 A fun little outhouse, that is not used, but is a fun little addition to the property.

One of the days we were out there, we took a day trip to Eureka Springs, Arkansas. It was so beautiful. We stopped at the Thorncrown Chapel (the glass chapel). The building is mostly windows and is spectacular as you sit inside and are able to see nature all around you.

 We took a short hike to a balance rock. It was super duper hot and humid.

 We spent some time in downtown in Eureka Springs. It was a charming little town, filled with shops and restaurants. 

 Not too often that you get to see Humtpy Dumpty.

  Can you see Scott?

 After Eureka Springs, we drove through Branson and then stopped to eat at Lambert's Cafe.

Some of the best rolls ever!

I made my mark on the map at Lambert's. Representing Mesa!

All in all it was a fun trip. We flew back to SLC, spent another day with my family, visited Adam's grave and then drove home.
