Utah Trip Day 6


Love this picture of Tamara's youngest boy, Thatcher. He was quite taken with Kirk. So cute!

Had grand plans of going to Heritage Park where "This is the Place" monument is and going to see The Great Salt Lake and Antelope Island today, but when we got up Avery wasn't feeling well. After much debate Avery decided she felt good enough and didn't want to miss seeing it, so we got into the car and stopped at McDonald's for breakfast where it hit Avery hard and she started crying and not feeling good. We had had it by now and decided to throw in the towel and just head home. Wasn't looking good for my procedure and it was too dangerous for me to drive that distance not knowing when that pain would hit again, so it was go home with Kirk or risk it and he especially wasn't willing to risk it. At that point it just felt like we weren't meant to stay. So, we headed back to Tamara's, packed up pretty quickly, called Sara (my friend from Boston that was there with her kids staying at her moms and had been on vacation up until that day, so we hadn't seen each other yet) and she, her kids and her mom stopped over for a quick hello/goodbye before heading to Las Vegas to spend the night. So sad. So many months of planning and looking forward to this trip and a week early it was ending...just like that. To say the least I was SAD! Avery slept in the back a lot of the way. Luckily, she never threw up - was just nauseous. We called The Orlean's on our way to get reservations for the night and we were there by about 7:00. Grabbed dinner in the lobby and ate in our room (minus Avery) and then went to bed.

Oh, Suz, I'm so sad for your incomplete vacation. Had we only known you weren't really going to get to spend time in Cedar, I would have come to Hurricane/Zion and spent some time with you there!
I hope you are feeling better.
