After sifting through 886 pictures taken on this trip, I've narrowed it down to 22.  These aren't the most interesting ones, nor are they the best.  But here it goes.
The ride up 


 took over a day.  On the way up, we met Jonathan and the gang in Denver 

.

  The most memorable part of the trip up was when we were going to run out of gas in Wyoming.  We had to stop at the most run-down, weird, not looking like we want to be there gas station in the world 

.

  We eventually made it to Salt Lake.  Kristy played the drums 


 while her bro played guitar for a little bit.  Most of the Salt Lake experience was spent eating.  We ate at Maddox 

,

 which was really good.  Kristy's dad turned 60 


 while we were there.  Went to Wendover 


 and won $20.  Kristy's sister won $4,000.  Ate at the Bombay House 


 with my brother and his wife.  Rode horses 


 with my sister 

.

  Ate sushi 


 at Ahh Sushi!!!  Went to the zoo 


 and watched the bird show.  Whacha doin' doin' doin', the parrot would say.  A trip to Salt Lake wouldn't be right if you didn't see the Mormon Tabernacle Choir 


 and took cliche pictures 


 in front of the Salt Lake City Temple.  Kristy's dad 


 makes a mean steak.  It was good.  Kristy's friend, Melissa 

,

 is short.  See if you can find Justin 


 in this mess they call Kristy's room.  So, all the stand-by seats were taken by a cancelled flight out of Salt Lake.  Desperate to get rid of me, we drove to Las Vegas, where there were a lot of seats 


 available.  Half way there the fuel pump went out.  But we made it and ate 


 good food.  At the Bellagio 

,

 Kristy's brother did an amazing thing 

.

  He flipped a quarter into a stream of water.  It was a miracle.  Las Vegas 


 was fun.  Then I came home.
