Wyoming-Idaho-Utah Roadtrip

A week ago we were in Wyoming!
It was a wild day of driving on Thursday through snow at Tollgate.
We saw a deer starting to cross the road when I zoomed in on this picture.
Ending with snow through the Palisades area into Wyoming.
6" or so fell through the night.

We made a stop in Boise for my Favorite Taco Time!
 Next it was on to Rupert, just because...
The Gathering Place has re-arranged and added a 2nd Gammill to quilt for their Customers.
I asked if they had any "Beach-y" looking fabrics right away to make the stop less time consuming.
I was directed to the landscapes then the Blues where I found this Kona Bay fabric.
It has a feel of the sea shells on the water.  
I deemed it Perfect for my Vacation Time Quilt!

I had to buy their Licence plate and pattern since it is NOVEMBER and they are for sale.

I tried not to delay our trip anymore than necessary.
A stop at Hancock's & Micheal's in Idaho Falls and I was ready to get to Wyoming.
The snow started as it got dark and we drove very slow through Swan Valley.

Here are all the Goodies I brought home. 


While in Wyoming we got to watch our Son; Brant, Coach his 7th graders Basketball Team.
We went a little early to walk around Jackson Hole.
 Not much was open so window shopping was in order.

The Ski Slope in Jackson.

 These Bronze Statues called to us for a Picture too.

The main reason for the Road trip was Saturdays' Baptism of our Grandson.


Welcome to the Newest Member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints!

The Confirmation happened right after so we decided to leave and take a side trip to Salt Lake City.
My Sister needed the Quilt I brought and we wanted to go to the Music and the Spoken Word.
The GPS took us over the mountains crossing the Idaho, Utah & Wyoming borders. Evanston,Wyoming was our place to Fill up with fuel again. The cheapest fuel we found was $1.98.

Paul kept teasing that we could hang around until Tuesday since he didn't have to be back to work.

 Sisters at the Tabernacle!

There were many people milling around on Sunday afternoon on Temple Square.
We even saw a Bride and Groom getting their Photos taken by the fountain.

I couldn't leave before going to see the Newly renovated LDS Church Museum
We got there early and watched the panoramic film of the 1st Vision.
So Cool.  Almost like being in the Sacred Grove!


The wall of Nativities was definitely a photo op.

It was a great trip as we raced the storms home through the day. 
Rainy in Burley and Twin Falls.
Snow at Tollgate again!
