...Utah is the place where I wanna be...
Greetings from Utah!
There happens to be free wireless internet in my hotel :) The kids are all tucked into bed for the night so....
We left Oregon yesterday afternoon...and drove to Boise, Idaho. It's about 440 miles.
Then this morning we drove to Utah. The striking thing about the Utah landscape is that it's definitely not Idaho or Oregon. Oregon is very green with lots of different types of trees. You can see beautiful snowy mountain peaks and lots of water. Idaho (Boise to the Utah border) is agricultural..flat for the most part with a few mountains in the distance...but small ones. Barely any snow. Boise is also one giant strip mall. I haven't been to Salt Lake City but I hear it's kind of like that too.
Tonight we drove to Antelope Island in the Great Salt Lake. There are buffalo, antelope, deer, all sorts of birds and apparently coyote and fox. We saw the buffalo and the antelope and the birds...and a gazillion bugs. I've never seen so many bugs in my life. I guess they dig the salt marshes.
Tomorrow we're off to a nearby amusement park.....and the Grand Canyon on Friday.
Next time I get wireless...I'll blog again if I can.
Be good to each other and be nice to Kevin, please.
