Or Not. Life is tricky that way. Everyone has to have a road trip that questions your will to liveat least once in your life.<BR/><BR/>I have had several. One of them was when I drove from So Cal to Logan by myself with a 5 year old and 2 year old. It was not as bad as I though it would be, but can I say play lands in St George and Beaver--happy happy things. Totally agree with the nobel peace prize concept.<BR/><BR/>Good luck on the return trip.Nutty Hamster Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03140942348874900744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136207191598292498.post-74733736715799748092009-03-31T14:32:00.000-07:002009-03-31T14:32:00.000-07:00I can somewhat sympathize - my 15 hour trip to Elm...I can somewhat sympathize - my 15 hour trip to Elma took 21 hours!

That trip was one detour after another and we kept having to pull over to chip the icecicles that were forming all over our vehicle off so that we could move. It took us 26 hours to get to Salt Lake. Never again. (Unless we go in the summer anyway... assuming our air conditioning works...) Glad you guys made it and have a few days relax!Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02146733661303357665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136207191598292498.post-79168818754295348472009-03-31T10:29:00.000-07:002009-03-31T10:29:00.000-07:00All I have to say about Jerome, is that it was the...All I have to say about Jerome, is that it was the perfect introduction for my friend to southern Idaho's incessant, frigid BLASTS of wind. <BR/><BR/>It really has nothing to recommend it outside of that playland.J.
