Road trip to Utah

For spring break, we decided on going on a road trip to enjoy our general conference in Utah. Since Karen turned 8 years old, this would be her first time and be eligible to attend conference. This was a last minute decision, and when Joy showed us a great deal for a 2 nights stay at Park City Utah, we jumped on it. Although we did not have tickets, Joy, with her Utah connections was able to find 4 tickets. We were told that it is a 13 hour drive, but since we are used to 10 hour flights to Japan, this was a piece of cake. The first 2 hours into the drive and everyone is happy.

After an 8 hour drive from Seattle to Utah, we decided to stay the night at a motel in Boise Idaho. It was a long drive and with 5 pit stops along the way. We arrived late but thank goodness for Denny's....always open:) Kids were happy they were out of the car.

We finally arrived in Park City.....and it still is winter here. We spent a dinner and movie night with the Yates family.

The kids were more excited about swimming in the pool than seeing Temple Square. The heated outside pool was nice but there was still snow along the side of the pool.

This was me and Joy's first time attending general conference in the new conference center. It was huge. Nice comfortable seats by the way. Makoto and Karen went to the Sunday morning session with Zac and Kyla.

Lot's of people braving the cold weather during conference weekend. It kind of reminded me of Seattle. Took a lot of pictures and got taken a lot of pictures...maybe you might see us in the next conference issue:)

It was a pleasant surprise to see Amie Spjut at Temple Square. She took the picture of us. I hope you found your car keys.
