Family Vacation 2012

Here is Tyler the night before we left.  I was looking at the map to plan our trip and left it sitting on the bed. 

Sunrise on the way to Utah.  We got up at 3:45 AM to begin the drive.  14 hours later we arrived.  The trip went very well in spite of the fact that our DVD player did not work. 

A picture with Grandma Ross (also Great Grandma Ross).  Clearly Tyler has more important things on his mind. 

On the way to Idaho we snapped a picture of the Salt Lake Temple as seen from the freeway.

I can't remember how many times I have been on the freeway between Utah and Idaho and I have never noticed this sign before.  It is a good thing that there are no services.  I was tempted to stop.

Here is one of the greatest road signs in all of the United States Of America!

All total the trip was 2,371 miles.  A small price to pay to see our family and friends.  We drove a total of 34 hours on 4 tanks of gas.  It became obvious to me that our current federal governmental leadership does not understand something very obvious.  Until you can make an electric car (I am not talking about a hybrid they still need gas) that runs for 14 hours while only stopping for 20 minutes to refuel both car and driver you need stop forcing that crap upon us! I have been hearing that $1.84 was the price of gas before the current CHANGE came about.  It is about time for someone else to give it a try.
