Oh what fun!

Since Bill was so busy with work up until the end of the year, we decided to take a nice long vacation in January.  We started off with a few days in Salt Lake at my parents house.

Then we headed further south to St. George.  Bill's youngest sister, Tina was still in town from Christmas with her two boys that are close to Sam & Daniels ages.  It was a bit warmer than up north, but still chilly.

Then, since we were so close (another 5-hour drive), we decided to go to Disneyland for a few days.  On our way to SLC, we stopped to visit our friends, the Gardiners, and we started planning with them to meet in LA.  We left early in the morning, caught up with them near Las Vegas and got to the Magical Kingdom by noon.  Bill tricked me and booked a room at the Grand Californian.  It was gorgeous and so nice to be so close to the parks!  We had a blast!

Cars Land.  This place is AMAZING!

After 2 1/2 days, we drove back to St. George.  Then it was back up to Salt Lake for a night and finally home.  We were all exhausted by the time we got home, but had a wonderful time!
