Road trip! 8-21-2020

 On August 19,  I flew out to Michigan.  Our plan...Amanda and I and the kids drive back to SLC, and spend the week at the cabin.  Mike's plan is to fly out Sept 4th, and drive back with Amanda on Sept 11.

One of  my favorite things is when the twins get up in the morning and come snuggle Grandma!




Hanging out in Ann Arbor is always awesome!


And we are off!


Traveling during a pandemic makes things interesting!
Our drive out was great.  Spent the first night in Des Monies, Iowa.  The second night in Laramie, Wy.24 hours of driving.

So here was the plan

 On Sept 4, Mike was to fly out to Utah for a wedding.  That would keep him busy for the 4th.  Then on Sept. 5th, Mike's birthday, we would have a party down at the cabin for our September birthdays, Mike and Livy.  Then on Sunday, Mike was to head up to Idaho to hike the Tetons with his brother Dave, then a fishing trip with his dad.  Meanwhile, Amanda and kids would stay at the cabin with us.  Then Mike and Amanda and kids would drive home around Sept 11.
...then things changed.  Mike found out he actually needed to be in SLC on Thursday instead of Friday.  So Mike bought a new flight.  Amanda would go up on Thursday and Friday, kids would stay at the cabin.....and then things changed...while out on a run, Mike broke his foot!  It was his left foot, and he has a car with a clutch, so things were quite difficult for Mike since Amanda was in Utah!  Mike went to a specialist, and luckily he didn't have to have surgery, but he was in a lot of pain.  He was on crutches, the hiking and fishing wasn't going to be happening.  They had to decide if it was worth it to have Mike come at all.  
Mike decided to come. 
This trip to Utah so far hasn't gone as planned, we will see how this week goes.
