Summer of Fun 2013 Continues, Beginning with a Big Breakfast

 Saturday August 10, 2013 was another super awesome adventure in our Summer of Fun 2013.  Being BFFs with D'Nell means there's always something fun to look forward to.

We left early on our adventure and started North on I-15 (only after we got Suzie a Big Breakfast).  Our destination was the Spiral Jetty, but of course we got distracted by ding trips.  Our first stop, ATK.  We spent some time playing on the rocket displays (before we saw the "Please Stay Off" signs).

 Hello cute Suzie and D'Nell faces!
 




Then we were on our way toward the Spiral Jetty.  Because it's in the Great Salt Lake we could smell it before we saw it.






 The pink color of the brine shrimp and salt was better through our sunglasses, so this was an attempt at a photo through the lens of my sunglasses.
 


 Gen made sure to walk around the entire spiral, while the rest of us just cut through.
 





The Spiral Jetty really is quite neat.  One of those things every Utahn should see at least once.

 As we headed toward Brigham City for lunch we got distracted again by Promontory Point.  I always remember the date of the driving of the Golden Spike because it happened on my birthday!  We lucked out and there was a train convention thing going on so we got to watch a reenactment for free.  Perfect timing!
 Check out the name on this train!










 It was an absolutely beautiful summer day in northern Utah.  We live in a beautiful state and I am so lucky to be able to explore it with my fabulous friends!
 



 After lunch at the Emerald Isle (with some of our new biker friends) we drove around until we found the Brigham City temple and crashed a wedding.

I sure love these cute girls and we have so much fun together!  I have been able to see and explore things I never would see on my own.  And our list of inside jokes gets longer each time we are together!
