We all needed a break from too much quarantining. I'm so glad I got to go with Joe to Utah and Idaho and that we could pick up Emmy and have some fun. Emmy was very busy on aTuesday when we arrived in Utah so we hung out with Alex. She had Hawaiian food ready for us and we hung around Draper and Lehi. We have fun in Provo too the next Day. We hit the best taco place in town and went to Thanksgiving point. It is so beautiful there and we enjoyed the tropical feel of the butterfly conservatory with allt he wonderous butterfly and other insects! That wasn't all the fun, Emmy and I started our waterfall chasing with Bridal Veil falls in Provo Canyon. We had kneaders which is our favorite sandwich shop to go to in Utah. and then we walked by the river to the falls.
Thursday we got up early an headed to Idaho. We had to stop at the Library in Idaho falls for Emmy to go to class via zoom. It was tight, but we got her set up with a sack lunch and some space to have her class. I walked around the little town and found a cute garden with ciew of the Idaho falls temple and waterfalls. We ended up going between the two towns of If and Rexburg a lot for the next fewdays, but it was fun and full of beauty and adventure.
Joe got to see his friends and Emmy and I saw sunsets, visited Mesa and Fall creek waterfalls and loved the journey. There was no drama, the food was great, the hotels were great and especially time with these do was great. I love it when there is no drama and when things run smoothly. It makes it a true vacation. On Fourth of July we traveled back to Utah and went to Alex's house for dinner and fireworks. There was a little drama with one of their dogs getting out, but we helped search and support her and all was well in the end. I feel so gratetful for this time, all of our social distancing precautions, and for the memories made on this fabulous trip
