The Lodge At Stillwater Park City

Baja California: An alternative Thanksgiving.

My brother and I are driving there tomorrow. Yes, MEXICO. I obviously can't go longer than a few month without leaving the country. It's a road trip. Road trips are my absolute favorite kind of trips! Driving, camping and beachin'. I won't have internet, so I'll have to update when I'm back in Salt Lake next week.

... you like to see the press box?" So we were escorted up to the second highest level in the box and look out over the field and the gorgeous mountains beyond while our Air Force guys were in warm ups. Awesome!

There was a lot of pain in the way the game went, but... we also took come chances that we don't normally take. So I was definitely proud of our guys. Final score: BYU 38, AF 21.

Now we are happily installed in the Super 8, a ...

This is the earliest in the season I've ever gone snowboarding. There was enough snow, so my dad and I went up to Brighton. Well, kinda enough snow. It's still important to watch out for rocks and little bushes everywhere. It was also a ...

We met Boo for a goodbye breakfast. I was impressed that he was able to get up so early, but when he told us he had plans to ride Keystone I wasn't as surprised. A day on the mountain in the sun will get anyone out of bed!

Day 9 had us in the car for about 7 hours most of which was through Wyoming. Apparently there are two ways to get to salt lake. The shorter way and the faster way (according to our nav system). We choose the faster way through WY and back on route 80 because we ...

... hanging on by July. Perhaps the extra precipitation is to blame for the mosquito problem.

One really neat part about this trail is that you can see the notch in the mountain as you approach Wall Lake, and as you continue on you eventually reach a series of switchbacks that lead you through the notch. Very cool. On this particular trip the notch was covered in snow so we had to climb up the mountain through the snow ...

... was spectacular. We watched a great movie about American skeleton racer Jimmy Shea. And do you remember any of these characters from the opening ceremonies? Overall we were both totally impressed with what there was to see and do here, and we said the $7 we spent for the ...

... this broadcast will be Mack Wilberg. Mack Wilberg was appointed associate music director of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and music director of the Temple Square Chorale in May 1999. He is the former director of choral activities at Brigham Young University, where he conducted the BYU Concert Choir and the Men's Chorus and taught both graduate and undergraduate courses in music. Dr. Wilberg is active as a pianist, chamber musician ...

... very well because I had actually never studied grammar intensively. Then I re-took their test and had a low yet acceptable score. I was waitlisted for this. The first MA program was to begin the following year, so I proposed that I study in Beijing to improve my score and re-apply the next year. They guaranteed me a spot in the program if my score was high enough for the MA program. Now you see why I spent this past year in Beijing studying at ...

... proceeded to spill on her lap while driving. But anyway, the 4 corners. It is the only place in the US that you can stand on one spot and be in 4 states at once. New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado all at once. It was pretty cool (even though the states didn't feel any different when you were in them, I tried). So after that we headed for the south rim of the Grand Canyon. This was probably the biggest mistake of the trip, because the ...

... school in NY early Thanksgiving morning and made our way to Kentucky, our first stop of the trip. It is about a 17 hour drive, and the worst part is that it rained for 15 of those hours. Ask for Thanksgiving dinner, let just say I will never eat at Cracker Barrel again. We made it to Paducah about 3:30am that night, morning what ever you would call it. Stayed the night and left for Manhattan Kansas the next morning. We stopped in St. Louis on the way to see Amy my sister ...
