I am going to try and do a post everyday till I am caught up with the trip.
Day one..We left Thursday the 19th after Brian got off work and headed for Las Vegas, it was about a 6 hour drive. We didn't have any problems with that leg of the trip. We arrived at Brian's Aunt Joyce and Uncle Pat's house in Vegas around 10 p.m. Addie was way ready to get out of the car, see Pat and Joyce and play with the little puppies that were at their house.
Day two of the trip we headed to Salt lake to stay with my uncle David and his wife Lynne's house. We headed out of Vegas around 10:30- 11 a.m. We saw our first sight of snow a few hours outside of Vegas.
Everything was going well till about an hour away from SLC when we hit some really bad snow, ice, and evening traffic. It took us about 3 hours to get where we were wanting to be. At this point we were done with being in the car..
When we finally got into SLC we met up with my cousin Jen and her hubby Tyson, we grabbed a quick bite to eat at Crown Burger. We were also lucky enough to be able to stop by Brian's cousin Haley's wedding reception. We looked totally getto cause we had no time to change so we we're rockin our road trip clothing.
I took this picture when we left the reception...
Day Three we were had what we thought would be a short 4 hour drive to Twin Falls Idaho. Little did we know what Mother Nature had in store for us. Before heading out of town we had lunch at a great pizza place called The pie with a bunch of the family that was in town for the wedding. We left SLC around 1ish, things didn't get nasty until Ogden when snow and really bad ice hit us and everyone else around us like a ton of bricks. Not even 1 mile after it started there is was a HUGE 30-35 car pile up right in front of us...it was the worst thing I have ever seen. It went across all 6 lines of traffic.
With snow and ice off and on it took us a good amount of time to get to Idaho, but we got there safe and that's what matters.

Good thing you stopped for pizza or you could have been one of those 35 cars!!
I love Addy's "sick of the car" face. Enjoy being in the sun again.
