We left for our big adventure on Tuesday afternoon about 4:30. By the time we had reached the freeway (yes, 7 minutes away), the kids had looked through and used up all their fun, surprise activities. Oh well. We stopped off in Payson to pick up Uncle Jarom and we were off. Jarom drove down separately because he is staying in San Fransisco for the summer for his NASA internship. Jarom, Grandpa and Gavin drove the rest of the way in Jarom's car. We drove and drove and drove (except for potty breaks).
We stopped at 9:30 pm for a late dinner at Wendy's in St. George. We all felt a bit better after that. It wasn't too long until we reached the lights of Las Vegas. I now remember why I really don't like Las Vegas. Greg commented that he, who couldn't sell water to a dying man in the desert, could make a fortune selling light bulbs in Vegas.
We reached Jean, NV, at midnight. We stayed overnight at the Gold Strike hotel. Crummy beds, but we were so tired we didn't care. Our kids first time in Nevada and they slept through most of it. Oh well, not much to see anyway.

ummm tell Jarom to look us up! He probably doesn't remember any of us but we are all here, and would love to see him. We always need an excuse for a family dinner.
