Not exotic, but definitely fun

Some people go on cruises, others to Mexico, Disneyland, Florida, Nauvoo... These are all fun vacation destinations that I dream of going. Last week we went on a vacation of our own. However, it wasn't to any of these. We spent the week in Price, and I can honestly say I don't think I would have had more fun sitting on a California beach. (OK, so maybe a little bit more, but we won't go there.) Tom took the week off, and we were set. As I am still working some in Price we had to throw in a little business with pleasure, but unlike other times when poor Tom ends up with the kids all week while I'm doing the speech thing we decided to try and have a little fun too. We arrived on Tuesday and enjoyed visiting with family, walking the streets of Price, and touring some new homes. Wednesday we had planned to swim. I bought a new swimming suit on the way up, the kids and Tom had theirs, and we bought new water shoes so we could hit the waves. Well, the pictures turned out cute, but as you can see we had the pool to ourselves. We almost didn't go but had promised the kids all day, so although it was cold we went for a short but memorable dunk in the pool. Also on Wednesday we drove out to Cleveland to see Lynae's new house. (I'm not into houses or anything right now;) Well, it was beautiful of course, and so fun to see her and visit for a few minutes. Thursday, Tom took the kids to the track (Bentley's request) and to the Dino-mine park which is always a good time. That night we went with my parents to their Stake Temple night in Manti and had a great experience doing sealings. Friday's adventures will be for another post (I know the anticipation is too much.) And Saturday we packed it up and headed for home. It was truly one of those vacations where you come home having had a blast, feeling a little heavier than when you left (Thanks Mom, you alway make the best spreads! mmm...), and ready to do better with every aspect of life! I think sometimes its not where you go, but who you're with that makes for great times. Would you agree?
