Tomorrow, I am taking the kids on a road trip. They have been asking to see snow for a while. There are a few places around here where it snows occasionally, but I decided to take them to a place where there is lots of snow …Utah.
I haven’t been there since 1998. That was just for a weekend wedding. Actually, I haven’t spent any time there since I graduated in 1996. I still have quite a few friends and family members there. Lastely, I have been chatting with a few of them on facebook and one asked me to come. The offer was extra tempting since I am only about a 10 hour drive now.
It is going to be weird to see how much it has changed and how much all of my old friends have changed. I think one of the strangest things will be seeing that most of my friends are parents to teenagers. A lot of them got married young and had kids right away.
Well, we are setting off to have fun in the cold. I realized this past weekend that Southern California is NOT the place to buy winter gear. We went to several places and felt lucky to get the kids coats and mittens. I will have to shop for boots up there. It should be interesting.

I hope the drive is swift and the fun times with family and old friends are everlasting. Have a great trip.

Take it from this snowy Canuk, wearing the proper layered winter clothing is important, especially around this time of year when it's a tad "chilly" :-)
Enjoy your trip. I'm sure that the kiddos will.
You guys are going to have a blast!!
The kids will have a blast. But what a pain to have to stock up on snow clothes you'll only briefly use.
I'd be all over the thrift stores!
