Homeless

Right now we are officially homeless. We moved out of our Del Rio house, which we were blessed to have sold in this terrible market, on June 28th. We drove to Arkansas and then got on a plane two days later for New York. We had a nice visit with the Campbells; the whole family was there and we had a lot of activities: Saratoga County fair, Hoffman's playland, Clifton Park Library (where Sarah got to learn a dance from High School Musical from two girls who were dancers in the movie), day at Sacandaga Lake, rainy day at indoor bouncy castle/land, date night with Laurie and Billy, and of course time at Grammy and Grandads.

We then got on a plane and made it to Charlotte, NC where we got laid over for 24 hours because of weather. We spend the day at the Concord Mills Mall and ate, saw "Space Chimps," walked, shopped, ate, played on indoor playground, walked, napped in car, and then went to the airport. It was exciting when someone had broken through security and the entire airport locked down including departing flights. They got the guy so business resumed shortly thereafter and we got to Little Rock at about 1 am. We turned around the next morning and drove to Utah. It was really cool driving through Kansas...there was a double rainbow, didn't see what was "over" it as we were going pretty fast, but it was neat nonetheless. We stopped in Stratton, Colorado at the Best Western, a really nice little place, newly renovated and very reasonably priced. We did get the last room and at one point there were four of us in the King bed and one on the rollaway. After hot buffet breakfast (was included) we hit the road and made it to Brigham City about 8pm, where we were greeted by Great Grandpa Gunther and "George the Weiner Dog" whom we had saved from the streets about a year ago, and who was hand-delivered by us to Utah as an early Christmas present for Great Grandpa last year. Anyway, we had a big family dinner for Aunt Jennifer's belated Birthday and it was great to see the cousins...who knows what other adventures await us here in Utah.
