After we left the island we spent a week in Bend. The cold weather was wonderful and sledding in the snow was a big hit with the entire family. Our friend Julie came to stay with us a few days and it was great to spend time with her again.
We left Bend, OR behind and headed southeast toward Salt Lake City, UT. The kids and I stayed with family for a few weeks, and Sean flew to Dallas, TX to start his new job. (insert an entire blog entry about our time in SLC here) One thought: we were done with the cold weather after only a few short days. :O) Kauai Sun, gotta love it! (cousins- Kylie, Kalia, Grady, Audrey, Allie, Isaac)
Three weeks later, Sean flew back to SLC. We packed up the dog, the kids and a lot of snacks and left Salt Lake City for our new home in Dallas, TX.
We stopped at Dead Horse Point, UT for some hiking/climbing and more importantly some energy release. The kids loved all the rocks and learned to follow the trail by searching out the piles of stacked rocks. Ishmael also enjoyed this stop.
The highlight stop was definitely the one day train excursion from Durango, CO through Cascade Canyon.
We arrived in Dallas, or rather Grapevine, TX where we set up house. The kids are picnicking on the lanai overlooking the pool. They are currently both in swim lessons and love to practice their new skills at the house. Slippers and sunscreen are still a part of our lives, and with the 100 degree temps the pool means to be a lifesaver this summer.
