Logan Days

Gary and I just got back from a trip to Logan, UT. We had to cancel our trip at the beginning of the month because of work, so we took a few days off. We had not been able to spend much time together and this was a chance to be just the two of us.

We left on Thursday afternoon. On the way we stopped at the American West Heritage Center.

This is a place where we saw a Shoshone encampment, a Mountain man camp, a pioneer settlement and a 1917 farm. We love history and it was really fun. Gary learned how to restore hats. Now he is going to go to the DI and find a couple of old hats and make them look great.

After that we went to the hotel and to dinner. We spent the rest of the night in the pool.

On Friday we drove to Bear Lake. On the way we stopped at Rick's Spring. This spring was discovered by some of Gary's relatives. It is a neat place.

We stopped at a place called the Limber Pine Nature Trail. It was a great trail. They had a warning about a mother moose and her baby. We did not see them, though. At the back of the trail there is an old Limber Pine that is 560 years old (it is actually five pines that grew together). A really cool tree.

Our next stop was the Minnetonka caves near St. Charles Idaho. We love to go into caves. We both find them fascinating. We actually saw some of my young women at the cave who were there for the weekend with their family. That was fun and coincidental.

In the evening we went to the Pickleville Playhouse to have a chuckwagon dinner and see a play. We saw "Crazy for You." It was such a fun time. Especially spending time with Gary.

We wanted to go to the Temple on Saturday morning, but found out it was closed. What a bummer. Our alternative activity turned out to be a disappointment. We went to the Oregon/California Trail Center in Montpelier, ID. They said they had a railroad museum (which Gary loves-railroads), but it was just a few artifacts and no trains. However, we did get to dress up as mountain men in a buffalo hat and coat.

All in all it was a fantastic and fun trip, but any time I get to spend with Gary alone is great. He is such a wonderful husband and I love him so much. I am so grateful to be blessed to have him in my life and to have celebrated our 6th anniversary this month!!!!
