Trip to Lagoon 2008 . . .

So, I have this good friend Dave, gotta love the guy . . . but if Crazy Dave can get something wrong . . . well, he will. So one fine fall day Dave called up and said hey, let's take the kids to Lagoon . . . I've got hotel discounts with rooms for 20.00, and tickets to Lagoon for 10.00 each.

Wow! we thought, we could take the kids on one last summer fling and keep it affordable. . .

LOL, NOT!

Dave forgot to mention that he got fired from the hotel chain the week before, and that you had to buy the Lagoon discount tickets online prior to arriving, so no, nothing affordable about this last minute trip :)

BUT, we had a blast and really, the car ride with the kids was the best part. They were laughing and telling jokes the whole way, the 5 hour drive seemed like it went by in minutes. I played The Cube with them (a future/ fortune telling game), they thought it was brilliant (the game not me of course), and are still making jokes about it. Mark and I dropped the kids at the park the next day and he and I spent the day sight seeing Salt Lake, we had a wonderful dinner at Bucca de Beppo. Consequently though, the only pictures are from the car ride!

Gus and Lou, yes Gus wore that white hat for half the car ride . . .
