For your viewing pleasure, the following photo montage chronicles our journey from the Pacific Northwest to the Tops of the Mountains. We spent the first night at the Ameritel Inn in Olympia after all of our belongings had been loaded onto the moving truck leaving our home on Apple Hill completely empty. This allowed to spend our last evening in Olympia with our friends at the church with the opportunity to say goodbye to each one of them. Thanks again Brandi for sponsoring the event.
We drove to Pendleton, Oregon, the following day as part of the first leg of the journey and stayed at the Oxford Suites (Michelle didn't think there was anything "suite" about it though). A sign told us it was where the "real west begins."
The second took us to Boise, Idaho, where we stayed in a wonderful suite at the Ameritel Inn complete with a 60-inch big screen and jetted jacuzzi tub. The kids loved it and I got out of going to the pool for the first time because of it. We also took our kids to see Kung Fu Panda while we were there. Great movie.
Our third leg brought us to the valley of the Great Salt Lake where we too have decided to settle down and plant our seeds as pioneers of old.
On our journey we passed 8 temples (Boise, Twin Falls, Ogden, Bountiful, Salt Lake, Jordan River, Draper, and finally the Oquirrh Mountain Temple) all of which Kole delightfully pointed out to us. We also passed by the new Real Salt Lake soccer stadium that is currently under construction and slated to open in October.
All in all, it was a pretty good adventure for us. We highly recommend the Ameritel Inn. The spread at the continental breakfast was ample and delicious. Be wary of the Oxford Suites in Pendleton. I do, however, believe it was the nicest hotel in town.
We're glad to be "home."
Enjoy the show!
